Entertainment
It is often said that one half of the world causes amusement for the other half, but this is not always the case. It only took half-a-dozen men from London, known as "The Impressibles" Concert Party, to amuse a good audience at the Benson Hall on Wednesday evening.
Those that had gathered from far and near never were allowed to think during the evening of the miserable journey they would experience on the way home.
The Party is well-known all over London as the leading laughter makers, and a couple of the members - Messrs. Harry Parr and Will Jennings - hold the distinguished positions of piano humorists at the Queen's Hall.
The whole programme was excellent in every respect, and some of the items of Mr Parr's composition brought down the house. These includes "The show's best man," which the party sang as an opening chorus, "Sea-dogs three" and "Mary's Lamb."
Mr John Orchard gave a pleasing rendering of Aitken's song "Marie my girl" and "The fishermen of England" by Phillips. Other items worthy of special mention included a humorous interlude by Mr Bert Sainsbury, a wireless medley by the party, and an interlude by Mr Will Jennings.
What could be described as the gem of the programme was the song "Take a pair of sparkling eyes," beautifully sang by Mr J. Aylmer.
All the items were well received and clamourously encored. The proceeds were in aid of Aspenden Church Renovation Fund.
