"The Dover Road"

A Three-act Comedy from 1YA | HE Auckland Comedy Players, une der the direction of Mr. J. F. Montague, will present this brilliant comedy at 1YA on Wednesday, 22nd instant, the performance, with orchestral interludes, taking up the whole evening. "The Dover Road" is undoubtedly one of Milne’s best plays. The central idea is a quaint and original onethat of the wealthy Mr. Latimer, who has a house on "the Dover Road," to which runaway couples, taking that road, are inveigled, and kept for a week in order that they may discover each other’s shortcomings before it is too late. The situations are full of the most delicious comedy, and’ the dialogue is, as might be expected from Milne’s pen, witty and brilliant. It is comedy of a high order, and in the hands of Mr. Montague’s company of players it should prove a striking success. The cast will be a very. strong one, and will include a number of new players who will lend additional interest to the production.
