“OUTWARD BOUND”
LITTLE THEATRE PRODUCTION Commencing on Wednesday next, the Little Theatre Society, in its own theatre, will present for a season of four nights Sutton Vane's great British play " Outward Bound." The cast has been carefully chosen and should be accepted as one of the best balanced casts the society has yet had. In a sense " Outward Bound" is a throwback to the miracle play. The difference is that the miracle play belongs to the age of faith. Besides accomplishing in its first act one of the best surprises of the theatre, it is distinguished from any predecessors by giving dramatic expression to that widespread speculation about after life which the insane massacres of the war so generally provoked. " Where are the dead? " was the question to which the traditional theological answer was found to be no longer satisfying. It is certainly not to be pretended that a profound reply is made in " Outward Bound," but the play skilfully unfolds a unique story of a most peculiar cast of characters. The box plan will be opened at Begg's on Friday for members of the society, and on the following day for the general public.
