Clever Pupils Provide Interesting Programme

Pupils of Miss Eldred, assisted by pianoforte pupils of Miss Rawlins and dancing pupils of Miss J. Heyward (Feilding) provided delightful entertainment last evening at All Saints’ Parish hall in a programme of pleasing variety and outstanding merit. The items were most happily chosen and included playettes attractively presented, humorous and character recitations, also monologues, musical items and dance 3, tho high standard attained throughout reflecting the greatest credit on their teachers. The opening playette was a birthday party, to which the guests brought their gifts and contributed items.
