COMMUNITY SINGING.
THE MOVIES AS AN AID
" The singing of the Hastings people excels in volume and tone anything I have heard in the course of my sixteen weeks' tour as a leader of community singing," remarked Mr Abel Rowe to a Hawke's Bay Tribune reporter. Mr Rowe said he wished to to be understood that he was not making use of a stock-in-trade expression of flattery. It really was his opinion that the Hastings people responded exceedingly well in the sings which have been held 'at the two theatres during the last three evenings. Mr Rowe has great faith in the movie theatre as a centre for community singing. The midday sings are excellent for the 'business fold and country visitors, but the cinema lendj< itself admirably to community singing, the 'audience being largely composed of young people versed in all the later melodies and there is no need for an official lead, the singing being directed by means of slides.
