Miss MoncriefT received a wonderful ovation at Christchurch on Tuesday night, and the large audience demanded repeated encores, and when she sang " My Hero" from "The Chocolate Soldier" the audience was particularly enthusiastic. Although Miss Moncriefl will be the star attraction, the performers will include Gil Deck, the pianist and conductor, who will play Miss Moncrieff's accompaniments. He will also conduct.the augmented orchestra which will play a Maori selection composed by Mr Deck. Walter Kingsley, the well-known English baritone, John Robertson, the New Zealand champion cornetist, Vincent Aspey, one of the Dominion's leading violin soloist, and Frank Perrin, the English comedian, will also appear.
