COMMUNITY SINGING

For choir day at the weekly community “sing” to be held to-morrow at the Empire Theatre (by courtesy of the management), arrangements have been made to reserve a small block of seats down the centre aisle for members of all choirs who may wish to take part. Miss Rita Holmes will be at tho piano, and the leader, Mr W. It. Sinclair, will have associated with him, during part of the hour, Mrs It. S. Black, the cinema queen. By request, Mrs Black will sing the favourite old ballad, ‘ The Old Rustic Bridge.’ Listeners-in seem to have a partiality for hymns, for requests, each accompanied by a donation of 10s for the mayor’s unemployment relief fund, have been made that the hym;.r, ‘ Dear Lord and Father of Mankind ’ and ‘ Eternal Father, Strong to Save,’ should be sung, Tho rich accompaniments on the Christie organ by Mr Knight Barnett, who will be at the console to-morrow, no doubt account largely for the effectiveness of the hymn singing. Those who enjoy tho singing by radio are invited to send in contributions to the relief fund, addressing money or goods to the secretary, care of Chas. Begg’s, or to tho Empire Theatre. Patrons are asked to make use of the Moray place entrance.
