Joy Night Travelogue
Sir, —I agree with your report in Monday’s paper regarding the International Joy Night held on the Saturday evening. In the travelogue, where the trip round the world was represented by a typical dance, to exemplify each country, by pupils of Miss O’Brien,, I agree with you when you" say that England was “somewhat ignominiously” represented by a cockney “slavey” telling the world what she thinks of her mistress. It was a very brilliant sketch without a doubt, but it was out of place entirely in this case, and speaks little for those responsible. The land of our ancestors is very dear and .reverent to New Zealanders, and should have been, aud could have been, the most brilliantly and beautifully represented country in the travelogue.—l am, «tc.. “NEW ZEALANDER.” Wellington, December 18.
