Mr. G. S. Scully followed with a fine violin solo, choosing for his piece the popular "Indian Love Call," which met with instantane- ous applause. Mr. Scully's play- ing was so appealing that he had to give an encore before the audience was satisfied.
The concert closed with a de- lightful Chinese sketch entitled The Henpecked Husband" which was full of fun and kept the audi- ence laughing throughout. The sketch was written and produced by Mr. Mak Kam-chuen, to whom much credit is due.
After the concert, the hall was cleared of chairs and dancing was indulged in until a late hour.
