WILLIAM HEUGHAN, ·

WHY MUSIC LOVERS SHOULD HEAR HIM

り

As Mr. Heughan remarked.in the course of a conversation with'

"China Mail" representative prior to Saturday evening's enter- Lainment, people are rather scepti cal of singers and other artists who set out on world tours." It is not to be wondered at when one considers the lack of talent of some of these tourists but if it was through any such fear that there was so poor an attendance at the City Hull on Saturday evening music lovers in Hongkong have made a mistake and for their own benefit and satisfaction should make a point of visiting the Town Hall during one of, the few, remain- ing evenings that Mr. Heughan is in Hongkong,

Mr. Heughan's tour has been undertaken with a view to show- ing the world what a number of Scottish songs there are which are worthy of being better known and demonstrating what a Scol- tish singer can do in the way of classical and operatic music.

11

Mr. Heughan has the support of the Burns Federation who recom- mend him to the. St. Andrew's Societies of places at which he sings. He has been on tour for, nearly a year and has visited Africa, India. Ceylon; Rangoon, P'enung and the Malay States and Saturday On the arrived on

He "Khiva" from Singapore. Informed our representative that he had received wonderful recep- tions at all the places he visited and that he had been requested a them all to pay return visits. This will in all probability be possible" he added, "as I am going on to Shanghui, Tientsin, and Peking and shall return the sanic way."

!!!

The Singing.

First of all let it be said that Mr. Heughan possesses a bass voice of beautiful richness and tone and secondly that he is a dramatic exponent of his art, his gestures, enunciation, and tone expression helping considerably in the general effect.

It would be difficult to conceive' of a better rendering of the many Scottish songs sung by Mr. Heughan. To the Scotchmen pre- sent they must have brought back hemories and aroused mahy long- Ings. Even a "mere" Englishman must confess to a stirring of the blood and an impulse to be up and doing during the rendering of some of the martial strains. Mr. Heughan's Scottish songs included the rollicking "W a hundred pipera" and "In Cellar Cool," the and humorous "Corn Rigs " "Barrin'o the door" and the martial "Murch of the Cameron meit"

Mr. Heughan's répertoire in cludes all the great operatic and many of the classical basa.roles. On Saturday evening he gave Moussorgsky's "Song of the Flea" with excellent effect, the satirical laughter being exceedingly well done. "The Song of the Volga Boatmen," "The Trumpeter" and The Floral Dance" were other numbers greatly appreciated by the audience. "Auld Lang Syne" Kaung as it should be), was Mr. Heughan's last item of a pro. gramme which was full of good things.

Miss Gladys Sayers contributed greatly to the success of the even- Ing by her accomplished píanó- forte playing and, Mr., Dave Kenned introduced a lighter. Merendin his numbers.
