MUSICAL RECITAL. '

BY MISS M. HOOKER, L.A.B. i The programme arranged by Miss Hooker for her recital to-morrow (Wednesday) evening in St. Mary's Hall, shows that the evening will be most interesting and attractive from a musical point* of view. Miss Hooker's pianoforte solos cover the old and modern masters, and include & "Capriccio" by Scarlatti, "Rondo by ■Beethoven, "La Fileuse" by Raif, "Shadow Dance" by McDowell, Ballade • by Chopin, and "Rhapsodie'' by Liszt. She will sing twice —songs by Tosti and . Sanderson. She will be assisted by ! Mr. Ackroyd, who will sing two great : solos from Gounod's "Faust," Mr. L. i Hooker, who will sing "She Alone J Charmeth My Sadness" (Gounod),, and Mr. MeFadyen, who will give a monologue, "Twenty Gallons <5f Sleep." The programme will thus appeal to all tastes, and as Miss Hooker- will be leaving for London very shortly, many will take this last opportunity of hearing her at her recital. OPERA HOUSE. TO-MORROW EVENING—"FLOSS." Commencing at the Opera House tomorrow (Wednesday) evening for a four-night season, the management will present Floss/ the world-famous war dog. During performances in England,. Floss was the means of collecting over £500 for wounded 6oldiers. Floss.was smuggled to New Zealand in a kit bag, and underwent 12 months quarantine. Floss is a fox terrier that is full of clever tricks, which tricks by the way were taught this canine marvel amid shot and shell in France, in the trenches there. Floss has had a series of almost unbelievable adventures, yet withal she comes up smiling. As a vaudeville turn, the Digger and Floss will be found hard to beat. One of. the greatest successes of the New York stage, "A GirlinJSohemia," has been 'visualised for the, screen, and will appear on the programme, with the piquant Peggy Hyland a» the star^ H. B. Daniel's play has been adapted: for the film by Denison Clift, and promises, according to report, to surpass in the Bilent drama its success on the speaking stage. The plan is at the theatre.

YOUR CHAUTAUQUA

Your Chautauqua is made possible through the efforts of a. committee of your public-spirited citizens. These people guaranteed a part of the expense of this fine programme by obli^ gating themselves to buy and pay for a certain number of season tickets. There -is no business or commercial reason why they should have done this, for it was done without the hope of financial gain for themselves. They brought Chautauqua to your cemtre because they believe that it will give you the highest type of entertainment, the best of music, and the most advanced in lectures. • They believe that it will provide inspiration, entertainment, and education for the children.. They believe in the Chautauqua movement and its influence for world-wide pleasure and advancement. A season ticket 'costs you onevfchirtl the amount; of single admissions, and puts you shoulder to" shoulder with ,sh& rest of tha citizens who are .working,to make your Chautauqua. a genuine success.
