TWO POPULAR SINGERS

AMY EVANS AND FRASER GANGS Mr E. J. Gravestock makes the welcome announcement that he has arranged for the two famous British singers. Miss Amy Evans, and Mr Fraser Gange to make a return visit to New Zealand, and that they will commence this tour on April 14. No two singers have endeared themselves so much to New Zealand audiences, as these brilliant artists have. Since their previous visit, they have gone from triumph to triumph in England and America, until to-day they arc regarded as the greatest exponents of vocal art in their respective spheres. On their return to London after their Dominion tour, they had a mighty reception, and the London Westminster Gazette says, “Miss Amy Evans and Mr Fraser Gange are certainly two of the best equipped and most popular vocalists at the present time, and their success has been prodigious. It is not in the least difficult to understand how mightily they pleased their Australian and New Zealand hearers. Both arc remarkably fine artists, who make the most of exceptional natural endowments. Both have splendid voices, which arc a joy to hear. Their reception by a large audience last night could not have been phenomenal and Mr Gange on his arrival iu America was hailed a< “a welcome addition to our short list of really great concert singSince then he has won his way to the position of chief Oratorio singer in the United States, and the most popular baritone in the country. M’ss Amv Evans has -ting with conspicuous success at the Chicago Opera, and has tort her added to her achievements by her beautiful singing in concert and recitals.

An add-'d attraction to the concerts will be the appearance of Gregoire Alexandresco, the distinguished Roumainan pianist, who is making his first appearance in New Zealand. Mr Alexmidresco comes with a big reputation as a solo pianist, and is a protege of * the Queen of Roumania.
