Miss Noeline Baker (Stewart Island); Miss Ewart, Miss J. E. McLeod and Miss C. McLeod (Invercargill) were among the recent visitors at the Hermitage, Mount Cook. Miss Elizabeth Loe, of Wellington, who won the scholarship given by Miss Elsie Fogarty for a New Zealand student, for two years’ training at the London School of Dramatic Art, Royal Albert Hall, London, has returned to Wellington. She was accorded a welcome by the British Drama League at the Pioneer Club. Sir James Parr and Miss Parr invited to tea at 415 Strand some students of the arts who have lately arrived from the Dominion, wrote the London correspondent of The Press on March 7. There were students of the stage and dancing, instrumental music and singing, elocution and art. They came from all parts of the Dominion, and they gladly accepted the invitation. There are not many opportunities of this kind for New Zealanders to get to know one another, and sometimes for a while new arrivals may feel a little lonely. Miss Jean Batten was there also. Sir James and Miss Parr saw to it that each one was introuced to everyone else, and two happy hours passed quickly.
