King Hedley Concert Company

NEWS AND NOTES. Entertainment at the Lunatic Asylum. Another of those pleasing entertainments which are truly charitable in intention was held at the Lunatic Asylum yesterday. Dr. Barnett, the medical superintendent of the institution was present, as also was Mrs. Barnett. The patients mustered in strong force, and evidently appreciated the break afforded in the monotony of their everyday existence. The concert was held in the new wing of the Asylum. The additions include a handsomely appointed concert or lecture room, which has been decorated by an artist who happens to be undergoing penal servitude. Within the hall a temporary stage has been fixed. Mr W O. Mason organist of St. Patrick's Church, Fremantle, arranged the programme: Overture; "Lassie" Miss Feltham; song, " Marguerite," Miss Pierce; song, Mr. Kerwick; ‘Mona’, Miss Simmons; Laughing song, Mr. Stanley Evans; duet, " Life's Dream is o'er,"; Misses Mckenna (encore 1); song Miss Feltham, ‘Patience’; Mr. Kerwick, ‘Minstrel Boy,’ Mr. Stanley Evans, ‘Where Did You Get That Hat?’; [...] jig, Miss Cole; Sailors' Hornpipe, Miss Waugh. Other enjoyable numbers were contributed by Miss Feltham and Mr. Glasson, and the entertainment ended with evident regret to the patients.
