Wills will give two elocutionary items.

"THE Dancing Mistress," another ~ of Monckton’s brilliant works, will be presented on Wednesday... evening by the Radiolians. The play is full of good tunes and should be as enjoyable as have been the musical plays presented by the Raidolians.. Also on the programme will be Mr. H. Instone, in humorous recitatioans, the Studio Trio, Mr. E. N. Trenberth (flugel horn), and some special records. (THURSDAY evening’s programme will be of the classical type. On this occasion a feature will be made of French and Italian composers, both vocal and instrumental. The items chosen for presentation are of a very varied type, and range from the most modern compositions to those which were popular forty to fifty years ago. Of the latter is "Il Bacio." The vocalists for the evening will be the Madame Gower Burns Quartet. In keeping with the nature of the evening will be the recitations to be given by Miss Maiona Juriss, ]{}XCERPTS from the opera "Martha," whose popularity seems to be evergreen, will be presented on Friday evening. One of the songs to be sung from this tuneful work by Flotow will be the old Irish melody set to Tom Moore’s words, "The Last Rose of Summer." The vocalists of the evening will be the Melodious Four and the items to be rendered solos as well as concerted. Three elocutionary numbers will be given by Miss Lily Kinsella. Popular and novelty numbers will be supplied by means of gramophone records. HE Avonion Minstrels will be helping with Saturday evening’s vaudeville programme. An interesting budget of songs, including several redolent of the plantations, will be sung as: concerted and solo numbers. Mr. E. Rogers will sing "Nirvana," Mr. Doug. Clapperton a popular soing, Mr. J. Filer "The Mermaid and the Tar," and Mr. Frank ‘Olds will give a musical monologue entitled "A Mariner’s Tale." Selections will be contributed by the Studio Orchestra. Mezzo-soprano solos will be sung by Mrs. Stephen Parr, humorous recitations will be given by Mr. L. T. J.

This will be Mr. Mill’s last performance in Christchurch, as he is taking up his residence in Wellington. Lawrence Tibbett, the baritone, who amazed the gramophone world by his H.M.V. recording of "The Prologue" from "I Pagliacci," was born in California, and commenced his career on the stage. From there he drifted into light opera, but on coming to Newe York was engaged by the Metropolitan Company. He memorised the Italian roles before he knew the prec: > mean-

ing of the words. He has triumphed in at least twenty roles, and the San Francisco Company this year is producing special operas for his benefit. One of Tibbett’s characteristics is his marvellous powers of expression. sTuIoH WLIO, oq} UL APIS Aaqtvod AA w
