WELLINGTON NOTES.

(By

“Lorgnette.”)

During the course of the rehearsal of the Wellington Choral Union on the 10th inst., occasion was taken by the president (Mr. A. L. Wilson) to present a cheque to Mr. W. E. Caldow, the secretary of the Union, who left on a business trip last week by

the Remuera. Mr. Caldow, who was taken by surprise, replied briefly, thanking the members for the kindly thought which had prompted the presentation.

Unless the embargo is lifted goodness only knows what we are to do in regard to amusement. ’Tis true we have still got with us the Royal Comics and Fuller’s vaudeville shows, which is a blessing. The Royal Comics are an institution that one can never go back on.

The Fullers are handicapped to a certain extent in their endeavours to cater for the public, but in their coterie of performers they have a bunch of artists that are good to hear, amongst them being the Molinaris. It is about time this management “cut out” the revue game. It is stale and unprofitable.
