THE NEW ZEALAND PLAYERS
-. Sir-Mr, Robert Young’s letter of July 31 is both interesting and thoughtprovoking. Might it not be that the success of the Pinero ’ farce, depends largely on the ability of thé players to portray the simpering artificiality’ and the striking of poses and attitudes typical of the period rather than -the distinction between farce and:cémedy? The artists playing Salonie and Sheba Jedd and Major Tarven. succeeded admirably and amusingly in this Tespect, where other memtbers of the company were less successful because. of failure: to recapture ,the atmosphere of a period which is, by comparison with modern patieme, highly unreal.
