"THE GUVNOR." The enmedy, "The Guv'nor," is to be presented at the Town Hall on Monday evening by the Wellington Dramatic Club, who will be remembered by Masterton theatre-goers for their suc:essful production of "Dr. Bill" on Boxing Night last. "The Guv'nor" depends for its fun on the misunderstanding of an old deaf boat builder, the "jealousy-prompted jumping to conclusions" of a retired confectioner, and the tangled love affairs of their respective sons and daughters. Confusion is worse confounded by an ancient Peeping Tom in the person of one Jellioce, who foments the trouble by his tell-tale proclivities; by a bucolic groom from Yorkshire, who is mistaken, for somebody else, and by the eccentricities of "the' Mac Toddy." The box plan is,now open at Miss Rive's.
