THE CHERNIAVSKI CONCERTS.

TO-NIGHT.

In connection with the v.'sit of these wonderful Russian boy-prodieies, who .make their first appearance "here tonight, special mention should be made oi the accompanying vocalists in the persons of Madame Marie Hooton and Mr Perciva! Driver

The former is so well-known in Australia and New Zealand by reason of her previous tour? with Mr Edward Branscombe's Westminster Glee Party, that it is lumecessary to do more than mention the name of this gifted artiste. In tho recent tour of South Africa, Madame Hooton achieved very great distinction by her inimitable rendering of old British folk-songs, and these will form an integral part of her work in tho coming concerts. Mr Percival Driver, baritone, is a newcomer, and possesses the proud record of having carried off the greatest number of prizes at the Roval Academy of Music "which has ever fallen to tho lot of a student at that famous institution.

Aa a pianist and composer Mr Rriver liar, also achieved distinction ia important concerts in the Old Country.

Seats may ba booked at H. *I. Jones and Son's.
