"DR. BILL."
The Wellington Dramatic Company will produce the farcical comedy, "Dr. Bill," in the Town Hall on Boxing Night, and, judging by the successful season that the play had in Wellington a short time ago, it should draw a large audience in Masterton. Speaking of the Wellington performance, one of the city papers said: —"The situations throughout the play are grotesquely impossible, yet they are welded together in such fashion that the most sedate in the audience could not refrain from laughing consumedly. The comecy lends itself easily to performance by ladies and gentlemen who can appreciate fun that is neither broad nor vulgar. There was practically no halt and no hesitation in the flow of the dialogue, and all the prominently amusing points which it contains were made the most of. The stage setting and the dressing of the players were quite equal to the professional form which has been sesn in productions of this picee. The stage action and by-play" was equally as good. The 'lines' were rendered even better than they have been on some of the many occasions that 'Dr. BiD' has been produced in Australasia." The box plan is now on view at Miss Rive's.
