DUNSANY’S “IF”
BOX OFFICE NOW OPEN Captain Redmond will play an important part in the remarkable play “If,” written by Lord Dunsany, which is to be presented by the Auckland Little Theatre Society at the concert chamber, Town Hall, on March 28, 29, 30 and 31. Although this member has not played for the Auckland Little Theatre Society before, he is a wellknown member of the Auckland Operatic Society. The part Captain
Redmond plays is that of Ben Hussein. Lord Dunsany describes him as looking worse than the modern Blue Beard. He is the. chief of an Eastern empire, and brooks no interference. The two London clerks prove too much for him, and he is ultimately assassinated, one of them stepping into his shoes.
Mr. F. E. McCallum, a very hard worker in the ranks of the Auckland Little Theatre Society, will play the part of an old Persian who attaches himself to the hero of the play and follows him with great devotion, ultimately saving his life. The wonderful dialogue Lord Dunsany has put into the lips of this character is delightful to Mr. McCallum.
