Mr, L. C. Helliwell, who has a good baritone voice, opened the concert, "Glorious Devon" being Mrs. particularly well sang. Bruce, a lady who has recently arrived in Hongkong, and posses- sing a sweet soprano voice, sang four songs, each of which "wers There most highly appreciated. were two comedians, both of whom were excellent in their respective types. Lieut. Allebek, R.G.A., is capable of raising roars of laugh- ter with his facial expression alone, and that, combined" - with his other gifts of comedy, he was encored again and again. Mr. C. Tuke was very happy in the choice of his numbers, and he is an artist of sufficient ability to give cach of his songs: characteristic touch. "We really had a most delightful evening" brought down the house.
Mr. C. Olive, an actor imper- sonating Dickens characters, con- tributed five studies-Uriah Heep, Fagin, Bill Sykes, Grand-)

With a soprano voice of extreme) [beauty, the rendering of "Smilin!
Thro" was exquisite.
Mr. L. D. Martyn, of the Easma Club, with the aid of a "hat," held his audience in a continual state of merriment throughout his performance, and his methods of comedy were as novel as they were clever, Miss Conway and Mr. A. Spary accompanied at the piano most efficiently.
Major A. E. B. Jones, R.AM.C., on the conclusion of the concert thanked the artistes on behalf of! the audience. The staff of the Military Hospital are to be con- gratulated on the excellent organi- zation with which the whole arrangements for the concert were carried out, thus ensuring those who attended a really most de- lightful evening.
