The programme which Tom has chosen is a fine one, well bala-ficed and of 9. remarkable diversity, so/cnat fin kind of taste is left uncatered for.

Soles, duets, quartettes, monologues, instrumental items, humoious items, and frank comedy serve to’ show the unique versatility of the combination, and there should be an excellent attendance hhen the doors open on Monday evening. , The talent is snch as Thames and district has few chances of seeing and hearing, and the organisers are to be congratulated upon the progressiveness they have displayed in arranging such a feast of interesting items. Tickets are on salel everywhere and it is to „be hoped that a bumner house will reward the Association for its enterprise, especially in catering for the public bv the • popular low price of 21- for 1/- for children under 12 years.of age,//
