Queen Carnival
The first provincial Queen Carnival in New Zealand was organised by William Lints and held either in Whanganui in 1914 or New Plymouth at an earlier date. These were not annual events, but events held in various locations throughout a year for fund raising.
==William Lints==
William Lints (aka William Lintz〔Matriarchs: a generation of New Zealand women talk to Judith Fyfe, Judith Fyfe, Penguin Books, 1990, ISBN 0140116699, 9780140116694〕) was born in Aberdeen, Scotland in 14 December 1881. His parents were William and Helen Lints. The family first moved to Australia in 1882 and where Lints was educated. In July 1893 the family emigrated to New Zealand and settled in Wanganui. Lints became a hairdresser and married Mabel Daisy Armstrong, the daughter of William and Sarah Armstrong, in 1902. In 1903 he became manager of the Central Hairdressing Saloon in New Plymouth. Lints established his own business, the Antiseptic Hairdressing Saloon in Devon Street East, New Plymouth. He was also a sportsman; instructing and doing gymnastics; playing hockey and water polo; swimming; and skating.〔The Cyclopedia of New Zealand (Hawke's Bay & Wellington Provincial Districts ), Hairdressers, Tobacconists, Etc, page 99〕 As early as 1903, in Whanganui, he became involved in organising activities for the civic organisations he belonged to.〔Friendly Societies Picnic and Sports, Wanganui Herald, Volume XXXVII, Issue 10837, 2 January 1903, Page 4〕
After creating the Queen Carnival concept, which he ran along with a revue called "Fete of nations" in 1914, Lints went on to direct large patriotic musical extravaganzas from 1916 to at least 1941.〔Advertisements, Evening Post, Volume CXXXI, Issue 108, 9 May 1941, Page 2〕 These included the "Battle of Bullion Hill" in 1916, the "Silver Bullet Cannoncade" in 1917, the revue called variously "Reveille", "Our Reveille", and "Reveille 1924" which ran from 1917 to the 1930s, and a 1941 revue called "Britannia". These revues were performed throughout New Zealand using Lints own company supplemented by local performers from a variety of disciplines including ballet, opera, bands, and theatre.
Lints died in Wanganui at 91 years of age on 9 September 1973. His wife died in 1946 aged 62. She was born in 1883 in New Zealand.
