MISS POTTS' CONCERT. A MUSICAL TREAT. It is seldom that the public of Healesville is given the opportunity of participating in such a delightful musical program as that placed be fore the audience at the Memorial Hall on Tuesday evening by Miss Elizabeth Potts. The attendance was moderate, and in no way commensurate with the value of such an artistic production. However, those who were fortunate enough to be present expressed their appreciation in no uncertain manner, the performers being recalled time and again. The stage was nicely decorated with gum tips, azaleas and foxgloves, these harmonizing with the general setting. The program was opened with a pianoforte solo in a particularly finished manner by Miss Rene Morrlssy, whose various efforts throughout the evening were really delightful. Miss Elizabeth Potts is an old favorite with Healesville audiences, and her sweet soprano voice charmed her listeners, and quite surpassed expectations. Miss Gertrude Hutton, the possessor of a beautiful mezzo contralto voice, attracted great praise, her various numbers giving great enjoyment. The humorous element was introduced by Miss Margaret Kerr, a talented elocutionist, who convulsed the house in roars of merriment with her exceptionally clever character and comedy sketches, and her quaint ways and sayings brought storms of applause. The well-known tenor, Mr. Percy Blundell, was in fine voice, and his contributions were a source of great enjoyment. The whole program was carried through without a hitch, and the only regret is that a crowded house did not favor such a fine musical exhibition. The audience showed its appreciation, not only by applause, but also in the matter of floral presentations, all the lady performers being the recipients of handsome bouquets. A special gift of flowers was made to Miss Potts by a number of local children, several pretty bouquets being presented. Repeated encores were demanded of the artists. The program was: Pianoforte solo, "Prelude in G Minor." Miss Rene Morrissy; aria, "Porgi Amor," song, "Lament of Isis," Miss Elizabeth Potts: aria, "Softly awakes my heart," Miss Gertrude Hutton; character sketch, Kip. ling's "If," Miss Margaret Kerr; song, "Nita Gitana," Mr. Percy Blundell; duet, "I heard a voice in the tranquil night." Miss Elizabeth Potts and Miss Gertrude Hutton;' piano forte solos, "Waltz in G Flat." "Country Gardens," Miss Rene Morrlssy; comedy sketch, "The photographer," Miss Margaret Kerr; songs, "Jeunesse," "The Woodpecker," "Annie Laurie," Miss Elizabeth Potts; song, "The Blind IPloughman," Miss Gertrude Hutton: songs, "Mary," "My dream," Mr. Percy Blundell.
