SUCCESS IN ENGLAND
HAMILTON MUSICIAN
MAORI SONGS PUBLISHED
The last mail from England brought interesting news of Miss Violet Rucroft, formerly prominent in music circles in Hamilton. Miss Rucroft wrote:—
| "I have just been listening in to the last promenade concert of the season. I wish you could have heard the applause and cheering. Sir Henry Woods' little speech was interrupted almost work by word with cheers. The school in which I teach is one of the best in Essex, with almost 400 children, who are coming back after evacuation keener than ever on music."" "I have done quite a lot of writing and my latest effort, an educational pamphlet, has been accepted by the Musicai Association and I have been invited to read it at the Royal Academy on April 8, 1943, which is a great honour. My Maoriland song books I am sure you would like. Four of them will shortly see the light of day, but the Oxford University Press has the complete books in 'cold storage' until the end of the war."
