GALA NIGHT.

On Tuesday evening the Women’s Institute entertainment will be held in the Druids’ Hall, when besides stalls, items and dancing, a play will be staged entitled “No Servants,” which is calculated to surprise patrons as to the excellent talent which has been lying latent among us. Mrs Alexander as “Mrs Sparrow,” the cook, is particularly good. She reproves .the fractious “Agnes,” and is indignant with the difficult “Maud” in quite the approved style. Mrs Terry, as “Maud,” the kitchen maid, is a show in herself, the only regret being that her part is not a bigger one. Mrs C. Pritchard makes a very superior parlour maid, and Miss A. Aim, as the awkward scullery maid, is a real find. Miss S. Quarrie, as the heroine, “Lady Victoria Strcetly,” is a particularly happy choice, and her attempt to cook a lunch after her desertion by her servants is most amusing. As the “Hon Francis Mayfield,” Mrs McKenzie is a very convincing and dashing young hero, and her portrayal of the loving suitor leaves nothing to be desired. The instrumental trio from Palmerston North, Miss Meedhead (piano), Miss G. .McKenzie (’cello), and Mr M. McKenzie (violin), besides giving their items, are kindly obliging with several foxtrots.
