"Bird in Hand"

From 1YA on June 19 "THE play by John Drinkwater, "Bird in Hand," which 1YA is broadcast= ing, per medium of the Auckland Little Theatre Society, is one of the most successful plays by an eminent repertory author. Possibly no play by so distinguished a playwright has appealed to the theatre-going public so much as has "Bird in Hand." It ran for nearly’ two years in London, this run being almost equalled in New York, and was eminently successful in Australia, It was perhaps the outstanding success of all the Auckland Little Theatre Society’s activities. The cast that will broadcast on June 19 is the same, with. one exception, to the performance recently given in Auckland. u Cast: Thomas Greenleaf, Arnold Goodwin’ _ Alice Greenleaf..... Ina M. Allan. Joan Greenleaf ...Janet Clarkson. * Mr. Blanquet .........Dan Flood ~ Cyril Beverley, Morrison Steediman * Gerald Arnwood ...Harold Haines Ambrose Goldolphin, K.C. ’ Ernest Blair ‘ Sir Robert Arnwood Gerald Roxburgh ¢ It will be remembered when "Outward Bound’ was broadcast a few months back that it proved highly successful. There is every reason to believe that "Bird in Hand," by that fam- ous dramatist, John Drinkwater, will be equally attractive. Readers are reminded that they can support the Little Theatre movement in Auckland by application to the secretary, Mr. Theo. J. Spry, Victoria Arcade, Auckland, who will give all particulars. ionen
