WELLINGTON PLAYERS
That Miss Elizabeth Blake and her popufirmly established themselves in public favour. The plays which have beeu selected for the Players' next appearance are "Everyman," the famous morality play written 400 years ago, and '-The Bom and the King," Thackeray's delightful fireside pantomime, dramatised -by Lucy Lowe. "Everyman" seeks to show men and women how to live so that they will not be afraid when death, "The Mighty Messenger," comes. The hero, typifying all mankind, is seen on his journey through life after God has sent death to warn him that "a straight account of all his doings will be called for." Everyman, careless and rather callous, goes from one friend to another for help and companionship in his great task, but all except "Good Deedes" desert him, one by one. He learns, however, from his journey through life to judge between the true and false, and when he does his sorrows are over and his mind serene and full of a great hope. Miss Elizabeth Blake has cut the play so that it can be rendered in half an hour. /
