SUCCESSFUL OPEN AIR
CONCERT
A JOLLY GOOD EVENING
جنيه
In spite of the threatening wea- thor, a large audience attended the concert of the Kowloon open air Football Club on Saturday evening." The rain held back, and every one had an enjoyable time. "
The programme, which could nat have been bettored for variety, Was contributed to by a number of new. amateur artistes, who all aquitted themselves admirably and fully deserved the ap: plause which greeted their tums.
The Symphonic Jazz Gang' opened the programme with a "peppy' ture which was a fine indication to the audience of the good things which were in store for them. Then fol lowed the Misses Eind with a duet in which they sang the popuar “A in a very pleasing Desert Song" manner, which made them inmedi- ate favourites.
Messare. Oscar Bager and V. C. Labrum were the "humour mer- chants" of the programme and put
