THE EASTER HOLIDAYS. .J-- As anticipated the Easter Holidays proved the most successful of the past decade, hydros, hotels and ia large number of boarding and apartment houses receiv- ing their full complement of guests. The, weather reports from many places gave dismal accounts of snow-storms and win- try weather generally, but on the North Wales Coast the conditions were admir- able, notwithstanding a rather keen north- easterly breeze, and at Llandudno almost continuous sunshine prevailed on Thurs- day, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Mon- day and Tuesday. The train service was exceptionally heavy, but owing to the .somewhat cold wind the steamboats were not patronised to the same extent as on several previous occasions. On the Pier and at the Pavilion there were big crowds every day, and the receipts must have, been very much higher than even last year, which was considered a, very good Easter. Laxge crowds also- gathered at the Skating Rink, and at the Grand Theatre the comedy, "Is Marriage a Failure," attracted large audiences. "Sapho" at the Prince's Theatre also received A fair measure of support, as also did the Bioscope Exhibi- tion at the Pier Theatre of Varieties. The ever-increasing number who de- vote their holidays to playing golf was shewn by the continuous processions of players on both the West Shore and Great Orme Links, and the directors of the Great Orme Tramway ought to be quite satisfied with the share of patronage their line received during these holidays. On Elaster Monday a large number at- tended the Conway Horse Show) the jumping and racing competitions being evidently the most attractive features of an excellent programme. The entries exceeded the record last year by seven- teen, and the receipts at the gate were 2135, £ 5 more than-last year. A holiday programme had been arrang- ed by the Llandudno Coaching Company, which was much appeciated, and the num- bers patronising the excursions by the motor charabancs proved the increasing popularity of this method of seeing and visiting the places: of interest in North Wales. Perhaps the greatest surprise of the holidays was the patronage accorded to the electric tramsi, which carried 5357 on Good Friday; 6979 on Satur- day 7818 on Monday, and 3848 on Tuesday, or a grand total of 24,002 for the four days. T'his number was carried on only eight cars, so that when the full complement of cars are running in the season this line, which so many opposed and predicted a failure, will probably be one of the most successful ventures Llan- dudno has known. In addition to the above, football and hockey fixtures had been arranged, and the bowling green opened, so that visitors had a full and varied "bill of fare" provid- ed for their delectation, and it is probable the multiplicity of amusements and means of recreation offered accounts largely for the ever-increasing popularity of our town among holiday makers. PIERi PAVILION CONCERTS. Thursday night was the opening con- cert of the season, and long before the ad- vertised time a large crowd had gathered) to give Mr Walter Haigh and his orchestra a warm reception. Mr Haigh'S appear- ance was the signal for a salvo of applause, and on quiet being restored the orchestra struck up the National Anthem. The vocalists engaged was Miss Lucy Nuttall, who despite the fact that she was suffer- ing from a cold, sang delightfully; we also renewed our acquaintances with many old favourites amongst the orchestra. All the selections given during the evening were loudly applauded and deservedly so, for in our opinion every item was played in irreproachable style, and with a finish, that could hardly be expected from an orchestra which had not met together for six months. The Pier Company have secured for their patrons during the, season an excel- lent array of well-known vocalists, and already a very large number of season tickets have been taken. The items on Thursday evening included Godfrey's "Welsh Airs" Thomas's Overture, "Ra-y- mond" Cowen's "Old English Dances" z;' Wagner's "Flying, Dutchman"; Oscar Strauss's "Waltz Dream," and Lehar's "The Merry Widow." MISS LUCY NUTTALL. Fresh from her unprecedented triumph at Birmingham, Miss Nuttall was received with the warmest of welcomes by the large audience assembled, and in response to the recalls for her fine rendition of "Che Faro," she sang "The Lost Chord," and b 11 ,again in the second half she was equally successful in Goring Thomas'S "A Sum- mer Night." Miss Nuttall has been suffer- ing from a troublesome cold, which pre- vented her being head at her best; never- theless, her every song throughout her visit has been re-demanded. Her efforts on one occasion to give her acknowledge- ments by repeatedly bowing were un- availing. On Good Friday evening she samg Gounod's "0' Divine Redeemer" and "Easter Eve," and for one of her encores "Crossing the Bar." On Saturday the songs set down were Gluck's "Divinities du Styx" and Saint Saen's "Softly awakes my heart." On Sunday she sang "Eastertide" and "Abide with Me," and Monday "My heart is weary" and "Sun- beams." Perhaps one of the choicest of her songs was the encore item on Satur- day night, Bunning's "Sunshine and Butterflies." Miss Nuttall will visit Llan- dudno again during the season, when she will be greeted with a reception that is due to a vocalist of such undoubted talents. The attendance on this evening was greatly in excess of past years, and in addition to Miss Nuttall Mr Denbigh COOPER sang Gounod's "Power and Love," "Glory to Thee," and was very warmly greeted prior to and after his renditions. Mr A. Hall opened the instrumental solos of the season with Adams' "The Holy City," and later at this same concert Mr George Atkinson gave Beethoven's piano- forte solo, "Sonato Apassionato." Both soloists were highly successfully, and met with a warm ovation. Another solo, 'cello, by Mr J. H. Foulds, who selected Dunkler's "Au Bord a la Mer," was also set down, and this soloist gave us one of his best interpretations. < < Saturday evening's concert saw a big improvement in the attendance, and per- haps one of the most enjoyable items, from an instrumental point of view, was Mr F. Siegl's violin solo, Vieuxtemp's "Ballade et Polonaise." Mr Seigl was loudly applauded, and played with his well-known and much appreciated skill; he was in capital form, and showed no signs of deterioration in either power or style. The prolonged applause at its con- clusion testified in an unmistakable man- ner to the undiminished popularity of this gifted artiste. The orchestral items gave further proof of the excellence of the orchestra, and included some exceptional- ly fine interpretations of well-known composers. MISS CECILE! BRANI. Miss Brani was the special soloist for this concert. Unfortunately Miss Brani on her journey down to Llandudno met with a series of mishaps. Her luggage went astray, and did not turn up until two hours after rehearsal, and as it in- cluded her vocal score it seriously upset this cantatrice, and in addition she caught a fresh chill on the top of a recent attack of influenza. Her songs were Habanera from Carmen, and Tosti's "Good-Bye." It was apparent that Miss Brani was far from well. She will be heard again at these concerts later on in the season under, we hope, more satisfactory condi- tions, and judging from the press notices the patrons have a treat in store. Sunday evening's concert was attended by a prodigouis house for Easter. Thanks to the foresight of the Secretary, Mr S. Hughes, the doors, were opened at least half-an-hourearlier than usual, a conces- sion under the artic conditions that was greatly appreciated. On Monday both morning and evening the concerts were attended by enthusiastic audiences. In the evening a humorous programme had been arranged and encores freely demanded. Two instru- mental soloists, Mr Leonard Brough in the clarinet solo, "Air Varie," and Mr S. Midgeley, bassoon, "Lucy Long," both scored heavily. MR. DENBIGH COOPEIR. Our local leading baritone, Mr Denbigh Cooper, has been singing nightly during the week with success. MISS KATIE MOISIS. Miss Moss, soprano, violinist, and refoiter, will to-night (Saturday) com- mence a week's engagement. Miss Moss will make her debut before a Llandudno audience. In addition to possessing a rich soprano voice, she is a very able violinist, who plays her own obligates with much beauty of effect. THE GRAND THEATRE. "Is Marriage a Failure" A comedy, was programmed at the Grand Theatre on Saturday of last week, and on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this. This is an amusing play, of the broad farce variety, which kept the ,audience in roars of laughter, one amusing but ridiculous scene following another in quick succes- sion. The play was most capably acted nd exceedingly well staged, and the pretty and well-made dresses of the actresses excited the attention and admiration of the ladies of theaudiencet: PRINCE'S THEATRE. At the Prince's Theatre the first three nights of this week that dramatic play, "Sapho" was staged by Mir Leigh Lovel and Miss Octavia Kenmore's company, and the last three nights that amusing comedy "In the Soup" has been played by the same company. This play had a long run in London, and should be seen by all theatregoers who like to go to a theatre to be made to laugh. OOLWYN BAY COUNCIL. At the annual meeting on Tuesday night Mir Eid,wardi Allen moved that\ the Vice Chairman (Mir D. O. Williams) ;be,e,lected chairman for the ensuing year. Mr Hugh Davies, who seconded, pointed: out that the Council would be 21 years OF age on June 22nd next, and there had never yet been a, chairman from! Old Colwyn. As Mr Williams was an Old Colwyn repre- sentative he had therefore the great pleasure in seconding his election; on that ground. The proposition was supported by Mr W. Davies and Mr J. Dick-en, and carried unanimously tamid applause. Mr David Gamble was, elected vice chaircan also unanimously.
