Thursday’s Concert

AN EXCELLENT SHOW. Last Thursday the Regiment was treated to a variety show of an excellent standard. The guests of honour were the Misses N. and A. Honore. Individual reports from members of the unit label it as an unqualified success. It is performances such as this that become the general topic of conversation throughout the whole Regiment. We enjoy these concerts of which last Thursday’s success wildly exceeded our expectations. The Evening’s Favourite. The comedian of the' party, Mr. Joe Houlihan, continually lifted the root with his superb acting, let alone his quips and cracks. A special vote of the thanks from the unit is expressed through this paper when we say that we sincerely hope -Mrs. Powell will bring out her party again in the very near future, not forgetting the inimitable Joe. Mr. Houlihan is a true artist, in his profession and his performance leaves nothing to be desired. His appearances were thoroughly appreciated and we hope he will accept our con-' gratulations i and sincere thanks. Since the whole programme requires many more adjectives than the dictionary provides we will have to content ourselves by simply listing the various turns, songs, dances and sketches as they were presented.
