THE WEINTRAUBS
Something new in the way oX musical combinations made their appearance in the Town Hall on Saturday night,* when the] Weintraubs,' a Continental sextet, delighted and amused a large audience. A • feature of their performance was their versatility." They can play the most modern jazz in the most modern manner, and with the same facility j and polish they can play as a brass band or an orchestra. Each member of the team can play three or four instruments, and in addition to their ability as musicians they are first-class comedians, and .drnbellish their lighter! numbers with highly-amusing antics. One of the funniest interludes was their, playing of "Carnival of Venice" in burlesque. Their programme was a varied one, and catered for practically all musical tastes. One number that ' pleased was-the playing of "Trees" in] several different settings, reminiscent of some of the' classical composers. The second portion of the programme was] devoted to swing music, which gave] the Weintraubs ample scope for introducing the comedy element. Assisting them were Mr. Edward M. Smith, an Australian lyric tenor, with a voicn of high quality, and Mr. Lou Paul, a i Maori singer from Auckland. j
