Williams; “Maid, Hilda,” Mrs J. Dobson. The charac- ! tors vvere effectively portrayed and all ! brought out clearly the points of the I ! clever dialogue. Bouquets were presented to the producer and all members of the cast. A clever sketch was also given by Mrs and Mr J. Christie. After the’ interval the Whakamara Glee Club, under the baton of Mr C. J J. Williams, took the stage and sang !in creditable style two part songs. 'They were “Drink to me only with •thine eves” and “Laugh and he 'merry.”' Miss P.
