The Grey Airgus in the course of its report on the performance says:—-There was a crowded audience at the Town Hall last evening, when the talented Hokitika Operatic Society presented Sh’ Edward German’s comic opera, “Merrie 'England,” in aid of the Grey School 'Dental 'Clinic. The opera went with a -swing from -start to finish and the way jn which the- principals and chorus alike took their parts reflected the greatest credit on themselves and on the producers, Miss Anne P. Duff and Mr W. Lindsay.- 'The costuming oi the play was very fine, and th e scenery was particularly effective. The management behind th-e -scenes left nothing to be and added greatly to tile smooth running of the programme. The orchestra, of thirteen instrumentalists, under the baton of Mr W. Lindsay, with Miss M. Giese at the piano, was a -special feature, and their rendition of the music was excellent. Mr R. A. Barro-wman, on behalf of the J Grey Dental Clinic Committee, returned thanks to the company and to the audience for the -splendid patronage.
