VI SIX PAGES HOLLYBURN P.O., WEST VANCOUVER, B.C.,w'b1USICIAN'8CLUB CONCERT 51AY DAY COMMITTEE FRIDAY, APRIL l. 1932 No. 45 THE LAND OF NOD This is the night, Friday, April 1st, that the delightful operetta "The Land of Nod," is being presented by the Junior Choir in the Inglewood Auditor- ium at 8:15 o'dock. This clever group of young vocalists have been working for months on this production under the ksdership of Mrs. Colin MacLean and hire. Sheffield, and the rehearsal attested to the beautiful quality of the children's voices, and the excellent training which they have received. The music has been written by Miss Margaret hfcIntyre es- pecially for this operetta which is in itself a particular affrsc- tion, and the Mclntyre Quartette have kindly consented to sct as accompanists. Woven sll through the oper- etta and complimentary to it, is the dancing of the fairies, sprites, goblins, and choruses, trained by Mrs. W. D. Fraser of the Framer hIontesorri SchooL The dancing alone would make a delightful evening's perform- ance, but add to that the music the choir, the lighting etfect, the beautiful stage decorations, and the rainbow costumes of the en- tire caste, and you have an evening's entertainment, no one can afford to miss. The Duncan Lawson Chapter, I.O,D.E., who are sponsonng this event have no hesitancy in recommending most sincereiy this operetta to the residents of )Vest Vancouver for their even- ing's pleasure. Tickets $5c and 16c. In the event of rain a special bus will leave the ferry wharf at 8 p.m. for Inglewood School CHORAL SOCIETI'OTES We venture to say that few musical evenings m past years were more appreciated than the occasion on which the society presented "A Tale of Old Japan." It fell to the honor of the society to be the first to present this work on the North Shore and, although two or three seasons have passed since that occasion it has always been the desire of many of those who were famiTi- arized with the work at that particular concert. to have an opportunity of again hearing this charming love story set to beautiful music by Coleridge Taylor. In order to comply with these requests the musical committee have agreed to place this work in the foremost position on the program to be presented at the final concert of the season tak- ing place at the United Church on Tuesday, April 12th, and it is anticipated that this second per- formance will, if possible, sur- pass the former presentation owing to the fact that more attention has been given to the finer points in the composition. The chorus and orchestral work require musicians of un- usual ability to present a work of this type in a satisfactory manner, and the society is most fortunate in having the services of Mr. J. Haydn Young as con- duetos of these, two depart- ments. )Vith Miss Margaret hic- Intyre as leader of the orchestra, we have no hesitation in saying that, considering the fine body of voices of which the chorus is composed, supported by soloists capabk of interpreting the theme conceived by Coleridge Taylor the concert should draw a very large aduience. The interest of the society has been well maintained, and no musical depression has been evident throughout the whole season. In addition to the usual number of concerts arranged during the winter, the society offered its services at an extra concert given in aid of welfare work in the community and has also responded to two requests to appear at the Twilight Recit- als at Christ Church Cathedral, which we consider justifies its claim to be one of the most out- standing choral societies in the province. In addition to the composition by Coleridge Taylor there will be several other contributions of an unusual pleasing character- s program of which wfli be avail- able shortly.

Durbin WINTER SPORT ON THE RIDGE HOLIDAY ATTRACTIONSGROIISE AND HOLLYBURN With winter sports tourna- ments on Grouse hfountain and Hollyburn Ridge the major at- tractions, motorists and hikers by the hundreds came to the North Shore over the week-cail The transient traific was heavy and the three North Van- couver ferries, although they managed to cope with the sitna- tiqn. were running to capacity most of the time. The line-up of cars waiting to get across was not lengthv at any time. The spin to IVhytecliif proved a favorite among motorists, ivhile Capilano and Lynn Vaiky ako claimed their quota. Hun- dreds of hikers made their way up Grouse Mountain and Holly- burn Ridge on Thursday night and Friday morning to partki- pate in the «inter sports pro- grams. West Vancouver enjoys two climates during the winter months. On the lower levels, where our residents live, there is the mild rainy weather of the Pacific slope, while Hollyburn Ridge, which Is within the municipal boundaries, has a clear, frosty climate and many feet of snow. The Ridge is an ideal area for winter sports of all kinds, but little progress was made until a few years ago, when a number of Scandinavians formed what later became the Hollyburn-Pacifi Ski Club, which has done so much to make the plateau a mecca for Vancouver winter sports enthusiasts, The members of the club have stayed up there throughout the year, and by build- ing a club house and two ski hills have made skiing one of the most popular winter amusements among the younger genera- tion of Greater Vancouver. Some of the club members, who learnt skiing in Scandinavia, where it is a national sport, have carried the Hollyburn-Pacifi colors to victory in many tourna- ments on the Pacifi slope, and as a result Hollyburn Ridge ls known and favorably known wherever skiers gather on this western side of the North American continent. A year or two ago another ski club was formed, which has also done its part in making the Ridge popular In the cold weather. Our thanks are due to all those who have thus helped to bring the name of Hollyburn Ridge and West Vancouver before the public. As a result of their activities many cabins have been constructed on the plateau. and an increasing number sneml their week ends up there as well during the summer as the winter months. We look forward with confldence to the time when with the construction of a properly graded auto road the Ridge will become the most popular all-the-year playground ln Greater Vancouver.
