PLAY READING

MASTERTON LITTLE THEATRE SOCIETY. “GROUSE IN JUNE.” Another highly successful play-read-ing was presented by the Masterton Little Theatre Society on Wednesday evening. The nlay read was “Grouse in June.” Those present thoroughly enjoyed the reading, which was frequently interrupted by hilarious laughter. The star of the evening was Miss Winifred Young, .who portrayed to perfection a bright and good-hearted American girl. Mr J. M. Lawson gave his best reading to date, and demonstrated his ability in a character part. Miss E. Thomas also excelled herself in the part of a demure young woman habitually imposed upon by a selfish and overbearing brother. All the other parts were adequately filled. The complete cast was as follows: —John Campbell, Mr H. MacKenzie Douglas; Maggie Campbell, Mrs F. L. Price; Jeannie, Miss Joan Gemmell; Robert Ferguson, Mr M. M. Simpson; Nancy Ferguson, Miss E. Thomas; Prof. Matthew Cunningham, Mr J. G. Heasley; General Edward Sandeman, Mr L. T. Daniell; Mary Sandeman, Miss 0. R. Sutherland; Bill Kelly, Mr A. W. Don; Sophie Kelly, Miss W. Young; Joe Baker, Mr J. M. Lawson; “Slick” McCoy, Mr H. H. Daniell; stage directions and director of pre-reading, Miss M. Stewart. It was announced that a dramatised reading of “People in Love” would be given in the Savage Club Hall on Wednesday, November 17, when a charge of 1/- for admission would be made. As usual, members would be permitted to bring a limited number of bona fide guests, such as visitors to the town. The next regular play-reading is to be held on Wednesday, November 24, when the splendid play “Libel,” by Mr Justice Edward Wooll, will be read. The season will end on December 8 with a reading of “No Time for Comedy.”
