A GIFTED RECITER
ALEXANDER WATSON RETURNS Endowed with those wonderful qua’ities uyhich make for that abstract th'ng called personality, Mr. Alexander Watson will be whole-heartedly welcomed back to New Zealand by those who gladly remember the winsome and compelling interpreter of some of our choi ■ est gems which sparkle in our literary constellation. Throughout the English-speaking world, Mr. Watson is recognised by those who can appreciate such masters as Shakespeare, Barrie, Kipling, Browning, Tennyson, Dickens, Masefield and W. W. Jacobs. Mr. Watson commenced his fifth and final tour of Australia and New Zealand in Melbourne on April 30, under the direction of E. J. Gravestock, wi’h a programme of selections from Sir J. M. Barrie’s delightful story “The Little Minister,” and works by Kipling, Roderic Quinn, the Australian poet, John Masefield and A. A. Milne. A crowded theatre gave the popular en tertainer a wonderful reccp:ion. an! the general opinion was that the gifted reciter still retains the remarkab!" j power, to such supreme degree, of vividly reproducing in the minds of his hearers, the scenes and characters in a story, drama, poem, or humorous epi sode, which gives his work an unrivalled distinction.
