Although this news is not put with the column heading 'Cheung Chau Notes', it may still be a continuation of that correspondent series.
The annual concert of the Cheung Chau Residents' Association was held in the Assembly Hall last evening ... [1]
The programme includes :
(1) Piano Accordion and Mouth Organ Duet by W. Newbern and Billy Newbern [2]
(2) Male Quartette, P. Backlund, D. Carlson, H. Gravern and Mr. Holten
(3) Recitation, Miss Gertrude Wahl
. . .
(7) Vocal Solo, Doris Dirk, accompanied on the Auto-Harp by Mr. H. Holten
. . .
(11) Welsh Songs, A. Thomas and P. Jones."Juanita" and "The Cat,"
by Mrs. N. Hill, Mrs. D. Carlson, Mrs. C. Lawson, Mrs. H. Holten, Mrs. W. Newburn and Miss P. French,
accompanied on the piano by Mrs. G. Krickson
. . .
(13) Reading by the President, Mr. D. O. Silver
. . .
(15) Community Singing led by Mr. W. Newburn [2]
Sports are to be held tomorrow on the Afternoon Beach followed by a Community Supper.
This may possibly be the 'last' concert held in that assembly hall. WWII apparently changed this close community a lot.
My enquiry :
do you know whereabout this Cheung Chau Assembly Hall was located ?

2. I think all 'Newborn', 'Newburn' is Newbern actually. Would try to disprove it myself, if evidence found otherwise.
