There is no doubt of a hearty welcome back being afforded to Mrasra Donald Reid (the distin- guished alto and pianist).

Wilfrid Thomas, Willam Lowry and Maxwell Oldak-

, to any nothing of the six de- ightful boy sopranos..

Shanghai has responded as kon ly to the. Gleo Singura as dyd Hong Kong, and the season y are at presint playing at the Em bassy Theatre could be prolonged but for definite armingements to open in Singapore on March 17, which must be adhered to.

The Westminster. Glee Singera will probally by the last touring company to visit here for some considerable time-certainly the last of much magnitude-so Hong Kong audiences are bound to seize those opportunities and a vom- pany, whose morit has been tried nnel undoubtedly proved here, in n fresh batch of new items.
