| Further Information |
'Some misapprehension seems to have occurred relating to the recitals to be given by Miss Dorothea Spinney, as it is thought by some people that she will recite in Greek. this is not so. The recitals will be given in the English language.' (Evening Post, Volume XC, Issue 67, 16 September 1915, Page 8). A range of recitals given in Wellington over a period of three weeks.
