TALENTED MAORI ENTERTAINERS FIRST APPEARANCE IK CITY Maori entertainments are all too few to satisfy public demand, with the result that the few which are presented are assured of plenty of attention, and usually deservedly so. The Huimai Maori concert party of twenty members, hailing from Puketeraki, Kaik, and Dunedin, has during recent months made a name for itself among Native entertainers through its enjoyable concerts given in many of the suburbs and outlying districts of the province. Yet it was not until last night that the Huimais made their bow to an audience in the city, and any doubt they might have entertained as to the public’s appreciation of their efforts prior to their appearance was immediately dispelled when the concert commenced. The entertainment was given in the Bijou Hall, which was visited by about 250 persons for the occasion, the proceeds of which are in aid of the hall fund of the unemployed workers’ movement. Hakas of every variety, beautifully graceful poi dances, enchanting Maori songs, and instrumental items were included in the programme, which was thoroughly appreciated. Loud applause greeted every item, and although the programme was a lengthy one the audience was loth to leave after the party’s “ aroha nui.” It may safely be said that future appearances of this exceptionally talented troupe of performers will he eagerly awaited by many. Following was the programme:— Chorus, ■* Haere Mai Ra,’ the party j single poi dance and chorus, lady members of the party; humorous songs, ‘ I Parted My Hair in the Middle ’ and ‘ Look at Me_ Now,’ Mr J. Denny; choruses, ‘ E Ti Iwi ’ and ‘ Simple Melody,’ the party; song, ‘ Waiata Poi, Miss Ila Taiaroa; vocal duets, * Manu Rore ’ and ‘ Wainga Nui PoJ Misses M, and TJ.
