Otahuhu

(From an occasional correspondent.)

On Friday evening, November 27, an excellent musical and dramatic entertainment was given in the Public Hall, Otahuhn, by the pupils and ex-pupils of the Convent. It was in every way an unqualified success. There was a record attendance, the hall being packed from stage to door. The stage was beautifully decorated, and the programme was a long one, every item being excellent, and the result reflected great credit on the Sisters of Mercy. The first part of the programme consisted of instrumental items (piano and mandolin), dancing, drill, and songs, which were all, without exception, admirably rendered. Misses Carson and Galvin were loudly applauded for their rendering of ' Sweet vale of Avoca ' and • Shamrock.' The second part of the programme was devoted to a dramatic performance of 'Cinderella/ which was highly creditable to the young ladies who took part, and was far above the average of such performances. The entertainment on tho whole was most satisfactory to both teachers and pupils. Much credit is due to Mr. Walter Kyle, who officiated as general manager, for tie excellent organisation ; also to his assistant, Mr. Fred Willsteed. The Sisters of Mercy tender their sincere thanks to all who assisted in making the entertainment such a pronounced success.
