Published in Timmins, Ont., Canada Kinsman Artists Event Pleases Large and Very ‘Enthusiastic Audience There was a large audience at the Mcintyre Arena on Friday evening for the Kinsmen Canadian Artists event, and to judge by the continued applause each artist received, the event was one of the most appreciated to be given in this district in years. Financially the concert was a success and as a the funds of the Kinsmen for "Milk for Britain" and other worthy, éauses will be well sustained. President 8. F. Chapman, of the Kinsâ€" men introduced the programme, while a brief but able address on the work of the Kinsmen was given by thePresiâ€" dent for Canada, Hal. Rogers, the founâ€" der of the Club, who came here speciâ€" ally for the occasion. President Rogâ€" ers was banquetted by the Timmins Kinsmen at the Mcntyre Lounge on Saturday evening. The programme Friday evening was opened by Rex Battle, whose brilliant work during the evening highlighted the occasion. The lovers of music were enthusiastic over Mr. Battle‘s remarkâ€" able mastery of the piano and were insistent on encores. It was decided, however, that on account of the length of the programme encores must be barred. While the audience was about ideal in its interest and attention, the gathering would not allow Rex Battle to go without one encore. For this he gave ‘"Prelude," by Chopin. Others numbers included:; "Bolero Ritimico," by Frederico Langas; "Rustling Leaves‘‘ by Franz Liszt; ‘"Polka," from "Golden Age," by Shostakovitch. In all his numbers he was able to prove himself the topâ€"ranking pianist of Canada toâ€" day, and his talent enabled him durâ€" ing the evening to join in the fun with Anna Russel and yet not belittle his art as an artist. An outstanding numâ€" ber by Rex Battle was "A Musical Re« Incarnation," in which he took Irving Berlin‘s ‘Blue Skies," and gave the number as it would be expected that it would have been if composed by several of the great masters. Helene Morton‘s ~presentation of "The Jewel Song" from Faust; "Life," by Pearl Curran; and "Ave Maria," by Bachâ€"Gounod, were much enjoyed, her richly trained . saprano voice and her attractive personality adding to the effectiveness of the numbers. William Morton, noted tenor, though hamnmerel by a bad cold, thrilled his The artists, all Canadians, were Rex Battle, pianist, Anna Russel, Comedâ€" iene, Helen Morton, Soprana, and William Morton, tenor, and each of the four of them lived up to the flatterâ€" ing advance notices they hed received from successes at other centres.
