There were big dogs and little dogs, dogs with long tails and 1110 dogs with short tails, hungry dogs and not so hungry dogs, dressed up dogs in all manner of costume. This film was followed by another entitled "Training You to Train Your Dog", If directions are followed, the dogs "Wingham may greatly change in ap- pearance and manners this spring. The meeting had the usual enthus- iastic sing-song, with a special num- ber, "The Tennessee Waltz", by Lions George Howson, Omar Haselgrove, Jack McKibbon and Harley Crawford. The quartette was in good voice and -received hearty applause. Pianist Lion Harold Pyrn was fined for assisting the above quartette, The latecomers found to their fine ancial loss that Tailtwister Henry de Vries was back on the job with the ..sne box. di" Lion Al. Rutherford presented Mel Newton and Jack Charlton, represen- tatives of Dr. Ballard's Dog Foods, to the Lions. Jack Charlton gave an outline of the "Mutt Show", which will be held at the Lions Frolic this summer.

LARGER CROWDS FOR LAST OF CONCERTS The final concert Of the 1950-51 season on Wednesday evening of last week was one a‘drich offered music of sufficient variety to suit many tastes. From the opening °Variations on a Theme of Corelli" (Kreisky), played by the young violinist,- Walter. Prys- tawski, to the closing encore by Jon Vickers, tenor, there was much fine artistry displayed, The violinist is a young man of con- siderable technical ability, combined with a well-controlled tone, and back- ed by a very marked sbnse of music- ianship in all that the term implies. If one must single out anything for spec- ial comment, to this reviewer it would be his fine work in the slow movement of the Sarasate "Gypsy Airs". Here, the muted strings produced a \veil- phrased and beautifully•sustained mel- odic line. Virginia Lippert has - a fine soprano voice with very warm mezzo qualities. Eoually at home in operatic axles or in folk songs, her singing, effortless though it seemed, gave' one the feel- ing of maturity and excellent training which is seldom found in young sing- ers. The "Habanera" from Carmen was sung in an appropriately dramatic style and the lovely Scotch folk song, "A Fond Kiss" was 'done with the warmth and simplicity Such songs too rarely receive. Jon 'Vickers, with a voice of consid- erable dynamic range, gave a fine in- terpretation of "La Donne ,Mobile" (Verdi). In "La -DaftA" (Rossini), he revelled in the so'ng's rhythmic vi- tality, singing the 'first stanza in Ital- ian, and the second` in English. It was a pleasure to hear him, the first ROBERTS—At Women's College tenor to appear in this;. erics, Hospital, Toronto, on Monday, Although comment, sin Eva Silves- March, 12, 1951, to -Mr. .ands Mrs,, ter is left .until the siass.. ..one .cannot '.RiChard Roberts, a daughter.
