UNIQUE MUSICAL ATTRACTION.

WHY YOU SHOULD HEAR SEGOVIA ON SATURDAY.

When asked whether they are going to lioar Segovin on Saturday next, a number of people have remarked "A guitarist? A whole programme of guitar music, with out any relief?" I should be bored

to death."

It seems to be the impression that Segovia Is a glorified ukelele player and it la natural that people should be under a mis- apprehension about the nature of | the performance, seeing that his fame has not spread to Hongkong.

In Europe and America, how- ever, Segovia has risen to the front rank of musicians within 'a few years and his reputation there is such that on the announcemet of a concert by him, there is a rush to secure seats.

The effects that he gets on the instrument of his choice are extra- ordinary, and a unique musical experience is in store for those who overcome their antipathy to- wards an all-guitar programme, The fact that this musician gives his performances in London at the Wigmore Hall and in Paris at the Pleyel Salon will indicate that he makes his appeal to the muden] public who flock there to hear the Kreatest pianists and violinists of the day.
