THE BLACK FAMILY.
The Black Family, if uot yet quite a household word in New Zealand, are at any rate well and favourably known from Auckland to the Bluff. Everybody knows of them, most people have heard and admired them. It is very doubtful whether there is another family in the Empire which is so talented and genuinely musical, without a trace of amateurishness. Miss Nellie Black need have no hesitation to sing, or play the violin before any judges, not to mention her many other accomplishments, and every member of the family excels in his or her particular line, which is the secret of the splendid programmes which are invariably put on. What has helped immensely to increase the popularity of the Black Family is the fact that they take the same pains and trouble to please, whether in His Majesty's Theatre or a backblocks hall. Their last tour was literally a triumphal progress up and down the country; settlements which, one might think, would find it hard to scrape up an audience, attended the concerts almost to a man, woman and child, so that, actually, in spite of the reaconable charges, every place visited, without a single exception, was a financial success. The family will appear in the Alexandra Hall, Cambridge, next Monday night and in the Town Hall, Hamilton, ou the following evening.
