TRAVELOGUES AT 3YA

2 eee VOICE QUARTET ON TOUR. The Dulcet Quartet (of which Mr. A. G. Thompson, B.A., is the leader, and other members are Misses Nellie Lowe, Mary Shaw, A.R.A'M., and Mr. T. G. Rogers) has adopted a type of programme which should prove a great attraction. Mr. A, G. Thompson is working out a series of tours through various coun-tries-these tours to be of special musical significance with regard to the origin of traditional and other songs. It may be an incident in a certain town or suburb, a battlefield, mountain scenery, or a river, that has inspired | the anthor to a certain composition, and from this point of view travelogues.

are prepared on London, Scotland, Ireland, England, and Wales. Naturally, London is treated from the historic point of view, with a leaning to literature and its past celebrities, and the old town places they visited-Lincoln’s Inn and its quiet garden, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Fleet Street, Vauxall Gardens, the — strect sellers, and May Day, all play their. part in the city visit. In the country tours, however, the quartet will travel far afield, and will illustrate the travel by songs suited to the position in the country visited. These tours will occur fortnightly, and the final of the visits will be that to God’s Own Country-our glorious New Zealand.
