‘THE DOVER ROAD’

It is not only at capping that the inmates of tho Otago University come forward to amuse tho people of, Dunedin. As a contrast to this nresponsihle carnival, a more restrained and subtle type of entertainment is to be staged on Thursday, .Friday, and Saturday nights of next week in His Majesty’s Theatre, when A. A. Milne e play ‘ The Dover Road ’ will be produced by Miss Bessie Thomson for the University Dramatic Society. In selecting this play the society, which earned considerable praise last year for its able interpretation of Patrick Hamilton s ‘Rope,’ has followed the customary, undergraduate policy of providing the audiences with light fare. The Dover Road ’ comes from a pen skilled and gifted in the creation of comedy, and with the usual confident ability of student acting the performance should have every success. It is a characteristic cf Mr Milne that his work has an appeal which is almost universal—it is enjoyed equally by young and old, by the serious and the frivolous minded, and by those of high and low degree. The cast is as follows:—Anne, Miss Isobel Newlarids; Eustasia, Miss Margot Garrett; Dominic, Mr Bruce M'Kenzie; Leonard, Mr Russell Napier; Latimer, Mr Lester Mollor; and Nicholas, Mr Wyvcrn do Clive Lowe.
