ARIADNE
ANOTHER PERFORMANCE A delightful three-act comedy, “Ariadne or Business First,” by the popular writer, A. A. Milne, is to be repeated in the Town Hall Concert Chamber on Friday. The play, which is one of the most brilliant of the author’s works, pictures the wife (Mrs. Alexander Kinder) who, finding herself taking only second place to her husband’s (Mr. Fryer-Raislier) business, sets out to teach him a lesson by planning a trip into the “unknown” with another man (Mr. J. E. Mackle). The scenes that follow are full of Milne’s subtle humour, and consist of the disappearance and sudden return of Ariadne, family disturbances, a uniciue scene between the deserted husband and the bounder, and the final realisation that Ariadne comes first. The interfering relatives, the modern girl friend of Ariadne and the maid, are played by Mrs. Hugh Fenton, Commander Middleton, R.N., Miss Meg Kissling and Miss Audrie Bayly.
