Wednesday’s Concert

HUGE SUCCESS ' On Wednesday 'night, “The Good Companions under the direction or Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Nicholls,' entertained us- to a superlative concert.. They have chosen an ideal title, as they were indeed good companions. Their performance was presented in true professional style to an enthusiastic audience. ' Some of the items had been seen before, but were so good, that the repetition was more than welcome! Those two prime favourites, Peggy Wilson and Greta Barrett (Nelly Kelly were in strong demand as indeed were all the cast. Unfortunately the “O. Pip” is too small to sing the praises of individual artistes, particularly as without exception, they were all excellent, so below we give the programme as it was presented and hope that Mr. and Mrs, Nicholls and their Good Companions' will pay a return visit in the very near future.

At the conclusion of the concert, the C. 0., on behalf of his officers and handsome territorials, thanked the party for coming out and congratulated them on their perfprmance. . .
