evening was a duet "A la laz de la luna rendered by this singer. and the well-known Gus D'Aquino. Greaves" has a most pleasant voice which harmonised very well with D'Aquino's.

Plano sules by Alison Mackenzie and Maple Quon were appreciated and did much to complete the en- Joyable programme.

The Choral offerings, were out- pourings of tonal harmony. Espe- clally fine was the singing of "Baracolle" (Tales from Hoff- mann). Miss Hyndman, the soloist DI "Villia"-Merry Widow, sang well and rendered a dist netive touch to the appealing melody as sung by the Group.

Much credit is due to Professor Gualdi for the competence and charm of these singers. Their ex- cellence of rendition, the beauty of their harmony and their Im- peccable selection of items art qualities of true artistes.
