KERRYTOWN.

CONCERT AND DRAMATIC ENTERTAINMENT. It is customary for the Kerrytown Schoolroom to be well-filled on the I occasion of the anmjal entertain- : ment by the pupils, and that given ; on Thursday evening was no exception to the rule. The programme was nicely selected and contained varied numbers to suit all taste 3, and the arrangements and carrying out of it reflected much credit on •the Rev. Mother SuJperior and those ; associated with her. The opening ' prologue, '"Welcome," was entrusted to Master T. Bums and Miss R*. Brosnahan, and was a very fitting introduction to what followed. The choruses, "New Zealand Song," "O'Donnell Aboo," and "Has Sorrow Thy Young Days Shaded," by the pupils were nicely rendered, as also were the recitations, "Guess Wihat's in my Pocket" (Misses V. Foley and L. O'Driscoll) and "A Schoolboy's Troubles" (Master Fleming). The vocal items were the "Tin Gee-gee," by Master L. Brophy; "I don't Want to Play in Your Yard," by the Misses R. Day and B. Brosnahan; "Jessie's Dream" (in character) by Miss Fitzgerald; and "Please Give Me a Penny," by Miasters T. and V. Day. There were three piano duets on the programme, "Orlando March" (the Misses B. Brophy and E. Burns), "Les Muscadins" (Misses L. Fitzgerald and S. O'Driscoll), "Irish Diamonds" (Misses C. Brosnahan and O. Fitzgerald), and also another by Misses R. and A. Goodwin. The temperamental knowledge and technique displayed by the fair performers was very praiseworthy indeed, especially in the duet "Les Muscadins." These items were a great musical treat in themselves. A four-hand reel by Masters T. Day and L. Brophy and Misses N. Lawlor and N. Driscoll, and a Highland Reel by Miss F. Brophy were well performed, and highly appreciated. An amusing dialogue by the Masters J. O'Driscoll and D. Foley provoked much amusement, the boys acquitting themselves very well. The dramatic portion of the entertainment was well up to the usulal standard of those presented in former years, and was an outstanding feature of the evening's pleasure. A light drama entitled "The Wrong Man," by Masters D. and P. Foley, P. Brophy, J. O'Driscoll and T. Buirns in the first part, and another, "Cinderella," by the Misses R. and L. Fitzgerald, L. O'Driscoll, and F. Brophy, and Masters J. Connell and P. Brophy in the second part stood out in bold relief as worthy of much approbation. All the parts we're well taken and on the whole went with a swing that left nothing to bo desired. The latter drama, included a fitting finale with the National Anthem, and this brought the evening's entertainment to a close. r i"ir whole of the accompanimenls ■v':"i .-.: - < ;■■ ■■:•••:;.•'.!'::;. ih u hv Miss ;. ... .■■ ', ~ v.. !
