A SUCCESSFUL PLAYWRIGHT

MISS KATE HOWARDE AND "POSSUM PADDOCK." Miss Kate Howarde, author and producer of "Possum Paddock," the play to bo produced at the Grand Opera House, has written over 1 dozen plays and has had faith onougli in them to product; them with her own companies in Australia—mostly in provincial Australia—invariably with success. "Possum Paddock" is largely a comedydrama based 011 the author's own experiences of character. "It is nothing pretentious," said Miss Howarde, "and does not presume to bo educative—it is just a very amusing and entertaining bush play, with interesting 'type' characters, plenty of simple healthy comedy, and some clear wholesome love-making, with never a suspicion of suggestion or double entendre hints, I believe there are audiences for good olean plays' ell over tho world—plays free of nasty innuendo and something broader, and I try to give them. Anyhow, 'Possum Paddock' has been a big success in Melbourne and Sydney (where it ran six weeks at the Theatre Royal to big business). and I think they will like it in New Zealand." Miss Howarde is at the present time engaged on a play that threatens to rival "Possum .Paddock," but quite different in character to that play.
