Recital by the Premyslavs
On Monday evening at the Carlton Hotel, Leopold and Eugenie Premy- slav gave a recital-the former on th violin and the latter on the 'cello-
u nder the auspices of the Jnh~nnes
hu rg- Musical Society.
An intel'esting item on the pro- gramme was Ravel's Grand Duo for Violin and 'Cello which was heard for the first time in South Africa. It is a very intricate work containing strange harmonies and figurations.
Nevertheless the music of Ravel is al- ways arresting and the players gave a really splendid performance.
Mr. Prernyslav again prcved his ability as a classical player of the violin in a number of interesting items. In thE- "Suite in the Old Spanish Style" for 'cello and piano by Gaspar Cassado, a singularly fine performance was given by Madame Premyslav, who was associated with Mr. Herman Herz.
The recital gave plea3ure to a dis- criminating musical audience.
Jewish Guild Dramatic Section
The next p1 oduction of the Jewish Guild Dramatic Section will be "The Two Mrs. Carrolls," by Martin Vale.
Mr. Julius Sergay is the producer. A strong cast has been chosen, and the special settings, made by the Stage Staff Section, as well as the mount- ing, will leave nothing to be desired The dates of production are Sun- days, 19th and 26th November, at 8.15 each evening.
A Farewell Function
A fare well evening in honour of Mrs. Rose Lazarus was held at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. N ankin, Kopjes, on the 26th September.
