In this part of the programme favourite plantation melodies were featured. It is not too much to say that there was not a weak number on the whole programme, and each and every selection was given with notable talent and expressiveness. There was not single number that did not win very hearty encore. The Virginia Jubilee Singers were equally ygemerous in their response, the programme accordingly being a long one, but not long enough to suit the big crowd.

They make an unusually wellâ€" balanced and melodious choir, and not only is there musical excellence in their work but to this they add notable sense of the dramatic. The baritone was outstanding in his work of adding action and vim to the numbers, while the bass made a special hit with his poise as well as his voice. The two tenors added further vim and exâ€" pressiven<ss to the male section. The quartettes by the male members were deservedly popular. The trio of ladies made even bigger hit with the audiâ€" ence. Their numbers were especially good. Miss Fowler, the mezzoâ€"soprano, has a voice of unusuat power and range as well as a pleasing personality. To a rich contralto voice, Miss Edmonson adds outstanding dramatic powers that make her partw most expressive.
