There was a very large attendance at the British Women's Association Headquarters yesterday afternoon at the Children's Concert arranged by Mrs. A. Harvey and Mrs. V. Arnold-Jones. The programme was varied and all the artists, who performed exceedingly well, were under the age of fifteen, The Misses G. Gogul and J. Kennedy opened the concert with a duet, "Laugh a Bit," followed by pianoforte solos by Miss Betty Umpleby. Two boys, R. Hutcheon and L Begley, next sang, and then Miss Joy Blackwood gave a dance, followed by songs by Miss J.
Kennedy.
The sketch, "Piglet," in which the Misses N. Dumbarton, C, Gain and Baker took part, was well performed and much enjoyed, as were the two 1 pianoforte solos by Miss Z. Goldberg. Another boy singer was E. Fenshaw. After a second dance by Miss Joy Blackwood, Miss G. Gogul sang, followed by Miss W. Schifrin at the piano.
That ever-fresh delight, "The Kings Breakfast" by A. A. Milne, "came over" well, the performers being the Misses Vera Snow, Audrey Blatchford, Wendy Gates and Sheila Bowden, and a delightful entertainment was brought to a close with the singing of "Land of Hope and Glory" by Masters Fensham, Hutcheon and Begley.
