Fremantle Lunatic Asylum

FREMANTLE LUNATIC ASYLUM. Last Wednesday [22 Jun] , in the large dining-room attached to the females' portion of the Fremantle Lunatic Asylum, the inmates of the asylum, to the number of about 80, were tendered an enjoyable concert, the items being contributed by Misses G. F. Langdon, Daphne O’Hara, M. Feltham, L. Feltham, M. Hatchett, Harken, Ruby Cameron, and O'Hara, and Messrs. W. O. Mason, Stanley E. Evans, Duncan, C. A. Pattison, Con. Glasson, and Butcher. At the conclusion of the concert the acting superintendent of the institution (Dr. J- W. Hope), on behalf of the inmates and the officials, warmly thanked Mr. W. O. Mason for having prepared the programme, and the ladies and gentlemen for having contributed towards the success achieved. Such entertainments, he said, did a huge amount of good, as they broke the monotony of the lives of those who were forced to remain within the walls of the institution. He hoped that the musical people of Fremantle would come forward at intervals and give the demented patients a treat which would brighten their existence
