Snappy Work

The history of this particular Extrav is rather exciting. When, about three weeks ago, "Salient's" reporter was asked to enquire about it, he could only report that Ron Meek had written a first-class show, for his own amusement as he said, and that nobody knew whether it would be produced or not. Next Monday morning he went up to the College, and plastered all over the notice boards he found gigantic notices informing him of a casting meeting the next Thursday. A full committee meeting was held on Tuesday night and preparations were got in train for all the varied aspects of the production, property, wardrobe, publicity tickets, Cappicades, etc., etc. But when we went to the casting meeting, we knew the show could not fail to be a success. Hundreds of willing, enthusiastic people filled the Gym, and the talent was so great that the casting committee had great difficulty in deciding between them.
