COMMUNITY SINGING
OLD AND MODERN SONGS The attendance at the community "sing" held in the King George Theatre at mid-day on Friday, on behalf of the Queen Carnival funds, was disappointingly small, but a happy time was spent in singing old and modern melodies.
Mr. Syd. Allwright made a jolly ysong leader, and Mr. S. Wood was the ideal pianist for such a gath?r~ ing, being able to play any tune called for. I ■'us** *
The guest soloist was Constable W H. Smith, whose rich, resonant baritone voice and artistry of production were displayed tb full advantage in "Mandalay" and "Waltzing Matilda."
A.film showing a quartette of cowboys leading community singing was screened.
