Reed

Variety Concert

A very enjoyable concert was given by members of the Royston Concert Party, under the leadership of Miss M. Rogers and Capt. F.C. Gosden, in the Mission Room, on Thursday, May 5th.

That their efforts to entertain were much appreciated was shown by the number of encores they received, but special mention must be made of the sketch, "Impossible Perkins," which caused roars of laughter.

The Misses Eileen Giffen, Marjorie Kingsley and Dorothy Drage were very enthusiastic in selling programmes and in taking round a mystery box. Various guesses were made as to its contents, Mrs Isaacson eventually being the winner, she having guessed correctly.

The Rector, Rev. H.F. Webb-Bowen, presided, and at the close proposed a hearty vote of thanks to the artists for having given their services, and for the excellent way in which they had rendered the various items on the programme.

Capt. F.C. Gosden, replying for the concert party, said how grateful they were for the Rector's words, and assured the audience that they themselves had much enjoyed the concert.

The room afterwards cleared for dancing, which was indulged in with great zest, Mrs Isaacson being the accompanist.

The concert and dance were arranged by the members of the Social Club, and the proceeds given to the Piano Fund. The proceeds of the concert amounted to £2 9s. 6d. The balance from the dance, after expenses were paid, was 9/-. A further 1/6 was given at the committee meeting, making a total of £3 for the Piano Fund.

Band Concert

To have won the Thousand Guinea Band Trophy five times is a record of which any band might be proud.

The famous St Hilda Band, who are visiting the town on Monday next, hold this distinct honour, and there is no doubt that there will be a large attendance at the Red House, kindly placed at the disposal of the Band by Mr and Mrs Claud Fraser.

Capt. and Mrs Williams have also kindly lent their charming grounds for the afternoon performance. The Band have with them this time Mr Lawson Williams, a tenor of repute.

Mr Lawson Williams was late principal tenor of the Carl Rosa Opera Company and Queen's Hall Concerts, London.

The concert will be the musical event of the season.
