The theme tells of a widow, Mrs. Dermott (Miss Connie Martin) and five pampered children (Misses Frances Forte, Jean McCormick and Joan Hudson Messrs. Godfrey Kissling and Graham Brown-Houglas), who believe that they are facing financial ruin. They reiy on an uncle from South America, but he says he will leave his fortune to the one who makes good within a limited time. Actually the uncle, played by Mr. John Stewart, has no money. Miss Audri© Bayly, as Mrs. Crombie, a visitor, Miss Doris Cleland, as her daughter, and Mr. K. Buchanan, as a butcher, are other performers. Humour was well distributed and the typical Noel Coward situations were highly amusing. Tli© climax, where the uncle revealed his deception, was particularly well done.
