The Spike or Victoria University College Review September 1924

Dramatic Club

Dramatic Club

Owing to Extravaganza activities, the annual general meeting of the Dramatic Club was postponed until near the end of the second term. The usual business of electing officers for the ensuing year was gone through, and immediate arrangements were made to commence readings.

The first play read was "Arms and the Man," by Bernard Shaw. It was followed a fortnight later, on September 16, by "Hindle Wakes," a serious play by Stanley Houghton. The performance of the readers in both these plays was creditable, and it is to be hoped that many students will use this Club as an outlet for their dramatic talent.

Previous to the general meeting the following plays were read: "She Stoops to Conquer," "Love's Labour Lost," and Marlowe's "Jew of Malta."

The women of the Club have arranged suppers to follow each reading, and the "over-the-cup" talks that follow are likely to prove an added social and literary recreation.

The officers of the Club now consist of the following:—

  • President: Professor Mackenzie.
  • Chairman: Mr. Yaldwyn.
  • Secretary: Mr. Marriott.
  • Treasurer: Mr. Hjorring.

Committee: Miss Cooley, Miss Baldwin, Miss Johnston, Mr. Nieholls, Mr. Palmer, Mr. Paul.
