Schools’ Concert

Schools' Concert. The annual concert "of the Brighton-street and Cremorhe-street v'Stete -schools eventuated at the Richmond Town Hall on Friday eveninfe, 1 3rd inst. The attendance, though^ good, was hardly as large as usual, which fact, no doubt, was due to'the inclement weather prevailing; The programme consisted of an. operetta, : "Flora's Fancy Bazaar," and action songs, calisthenics, cadets' drill, etc.. by the pupils of both schools. The operetta was nicely rendered, every Item of the chorus singing being well executed, and evincing the careful training given to the children by the musical director, Mr. J. Hill, The solo parts were also, good, the boys, perhajvs, excelling the girls in this department. The characters were as follows:— Flora, Queen of Flowers, Ida Brown; Juanita Jane from Spain. Alice Craven; Nettie, shrimper, Ella Campbell; Tam o' Shanter, Adrian Gange; 'Phynan Largs, bulrush gatherer. Ruby Dunand; Mother Hubbard, Viola Myers; Telli Mee, a Chinese, Florrie Clogan; Meg Merritime, toy seller, Winnie Engel; King Coal, a miner, Basil Kiernan; Mr. Munchausen, a genius, Harry Pollock; Ben Bowling, a tar, Albert Burrows; Hocus Pocus, a conjuror, Ted Craven; Peter Pipr«. orange seller, Eddy Brown; Chaucer

Jones, a poet, Tom T^ees. J The boy scouts' drama, l Pocohontas," was another feature~8f the programme, and was a little out of the beaten track for school concerts. The drama was executed in a subdued light, and the war-paint and.appropriate dress of the performers gave a true Indian aspect. The principal characters were taken by Miss Ruby Dunand (Pocohontas) and Master Hov Chadwick (John Smith). Mr. Cowlishaw, the scout master, deserves credit for the excellent manner in which, he worked the affair up. Cremorne-street pupils, trained by Mr. Parker, gave a prety song, "Australia by the Sea." and Miss Hill's Brighton-street claroes went through their club swinging and maypole without a hitch. The infants, who performed the skipping game during the operetta, were well trained by Miss Payne, and Lieut. Thorpe brought off the physical drill by his cadets "awkward" sauad most successfully. The duties of accompan We were carried out by Miss N. Considine with her usual ability. The energetic headmaster of the schools. Mr. L. K. McNab. was, as usual, to the fore, and has every reason to feel pleased with the result of his efforts. The proceeds of tlif concert are to go to the school and prize funds, which we hope will substantially benefit. *
