" A Bed of Roses.
" A bed of roses " is most mythical, but the above is the name of a comedietta which the Dramatic Club advertise for next Monday night. The actors " wear the rose of youth " and seem well caste for their parts. " Love is loveliest when embalmed in tears " the poet tells us, and therefore as the programme mentions the fact of one young lady loving a man who loves her friend, we are likely to see the ladies at their best. We expect that no great grief will be exhibited as it would be out of place with the title, but no girl likes to see her best young man got away by her friend. George Dalyson is the base deceiver and does the
" And I will make thee bed of roses,
And a thousand fragrant posies" business, in the approved horticultural style.
A musical interlude follows, after which the laughable tarce " Borrowed Plumes " will be put on.
We understand that the pieces have been in active rehearsal, and that a good representation may be looked forward to.
We fancy the night chosen, the eve of a holiday will militate against the attendance, however we trust not.
