WATERSIDE WORKERS' BAND.
The reputation in musical circles of the Wellington Waterside Workers' Band is one of. which any combination might be proud. Last night's recital, was yet another succese. A crowded house heard an exceptional1 programme, in which the band numbers were enhanced by the talented vocal relief engaged. Mr. Leslie Jephcott, tenor, was in fine voice, and delighted his listeners with his artistic conception of " Lolita," As encores' he submitted "I Hear You Calling" and "When You Come Home." His \taice is pure and clear, his enunciation _ good, and he makes a happy selection of songs. Miss Gwen Lester, a cultured soprano, also pleased, her offerings being " Cavmena " and " I Did Not Know." Master W. J. Sutcliffe, the boy songster, sang "Because" and "Friend o' Mine" in finished stylo, and was deservedly recalled. Of the band numbers, some exquisite effects were secured by Mr. J'. J. Drew and his players in the dainty intermezzo "Russie." The marches, "Roll Away, Bet" and "Half and Half," were well played, as was also .the difficult overture, "1001 Nights." Ivan Caryll's " Toreador "< selection was a favourite, the well-known airs ' being followed with enjoyment. Mr. Frank Crow.ther made an .afficiaat acctitnpanist.
