THE BLACK FAMILY.

The Black Family, if not yet iqtaitc a household word in New Zealand, are ae any rate : well and favourably known from Auckland to the Bluff. Everyone knows of them, most people have heard and admired them. It is very doubtful whether there isanother family in the empire which is so talented and genuinely musical, without a trace of amateurishness. Miss .Nellie Black need have lio: hesitation to sing, or play tho violin before any judges, not to mention her many other accomplishments, and every member of the family, excels in his or her part cular line, which is tho secret of the splendid programmes which.are invariably put on. What has helped immensely to increase the popularity of the Black Family is the fact that they take the same- pains and trouble to please, whether in His Majesty's Theatre or a backblocks' hall. Their last tour was literally a triumphal 1 progressup and down ■ the country ; settlements which, one might think, would find it hard to scrape up an audience, attended the concerts almost to a man, woman and child, so that, actually, in spite of the reasonable charges, every place visit cd, without a single exception, was a financial success. They appear in Temnlva on next Monday evening and w? can cordially bespeak for them the liberal support of the public.
