Among Mr. Bert Rawlinson’s numbers will be the popular baritone song, "The Moral Dance." Miss Anita Winkel is. a clever elocutioniste, particularly in

character numbers, and her reciting of Witty’s "Little Mary Fawcett" is worth watching for.

Mr. Chris. Harlie, the Lancashire comedian, will invite all to "Tell: Her I Stutter," and will entertain with other really funny songs and patter, Mr. Buster Brown will again appear before the microphone, delighting young and old with his clever Scottish songs and stories.

QGATURDAY’S programme will be of a bright character, for the 4YA Harmonists are going to present the vocal numbers from Paul Ruben’s musical comedy, ‘"To-night’s the Night."

and quartets with the Harmonists, Miss Mollie Andrews (mezzo-soprano) will be heard in "Too Particular," "Boots and Shoes," and other songs. Mr, F. M.
