LATE SOCIETY NEWS

CAMBRIDGE. Dear Bee, January 7. On January sth the mueh-talkcd-oi and long-looked-forward-to NEW YEAR S CONCERT was held in the dining-room of the Governnient Sanatorium. During the greater part of the day the matron, nurses, and the strongest patients were busy decorating the stage, cutting sandwiches, making fruit salads, and doing many other various duties to make the concert a success. Nurses Doyle and Sawtell opened the concert with a pianoforte duet. The next item was a solo by Mrs Boston Cooper, “Tatters.” This was followed by the song “Maid of Athens” by Mrs Arthur Herrold (Auckland). The next item was a humorous song by Mr B. Couper, "Down the Road,” winch was encored, and Mr Couper sang “In Rotten Row.” Sister Brown sang "Sing Me to Sleep.” “The Lotion.” by Mr Payne, was loudly encored. The next was a song, “In the Cathedral,” by Mrs A. Herrold, which was encored. This was followed by the song “Life’s Lullaby,” by Mrs B. Couper, with "Killarney” for an encore. Mr B. Couper then sang "The Water Shoot,” and in response to an encore Mr Couper. with his wife’s assistance, gave an amusing selection from “The Gaiety Girl” called “Oh, My Daughter.” The audience tried hard to bring them back again, but without success. The final item on the musical portion of the programme was a solo by Mrs A. Herrold, “What Might Have Been,” after which an adjournment was made to the other dining-room, where a most sumptuous supper was laid. The second half of the programme was the play, “Partnership.” The characters were as follows: Mrs Barker, Sister Brown; Miss Molly Vane, Nurse Doyle; Mr Fred Flight, Nurse Bate; Mr Sharpe (Uncle Joe), Mr Payne. When the curtain went down on the last act Dr. Pentreath proposed a vote of thanks to all those who had taken part in the concert, and especially to those who had braved the dangers of the hill. A most enjoyable evening concluded with the singing of the National Anthem, after which the patients wended their ways to bed, brighter and happier for the evening’s enjoyment, which they sine. r, ly hope will nct be by any means the last of its kind.
