ENTERTAINMENTS.

HASTINGS MUNICIPAL THEATRE TO-NIGHT. This (Thursday) evening, in the Municipal Theatre, Hastings, the celebrated French soprano, Mademoiselle Antonia Dolores, renowned throughout' the world for her wonderful vocal gifts, will give a concert here and render a programme that will without doubt make a universal appeal. The visit here of such an artist must stand out as one of the big features of the year. The Sydney -Morning Herald recently said; —“Amongst the great artists who have visited Australasia, none has become so acclimatised or has become so thoroughly at home, with her audiences, as has Mlle. Dolores. On Saturday evening this brilliant artist opened another tour of the Commonwealth with a delightful recital at the Sydney Town Hall, where her w'elcome was one of unbounded enthusiasm. The French soprano has returned here in great voice, and, as in other days, and more so than four years ago, has brought her numerous audiences completely under the sway of her regnant charm.” The pianist is Mr. Harold Smith, who is also heard in solos. Another- Australian exchange, in referring to Mlle. Dolores, printed : — “The liquid purity of Dolores’s music, the perfect intonation of her voice, and the animation and ease with which she sings are truly charming. The keynote of all her singing is sincerity.” Seats for the concert here can bo booked at Hall and Sons, while the day sale tickets are also at Hall’s Concessions are announced for students and schools, while country patrons may book by post.
