Dramatic Club

Dramatic Club

As has been the practice in past years, the Dramatic Club held readings in the long vacation, some of which were excellently performed. As the interest of most students centred round Tournament and Capping during the first term, it was not until the vacation that the Dramatic Club began its activities for the current year.

The Town production was presented in the Blue Triangle Hall on July 28, 29 and 30, the choice of play being St. J. Ervine's "The Ship." The play was excellently produced by Miss Mary Cooley, who put an enormous amount of work into the production.

The second three-act presentation was given on August 12th and 13th in the College Hall. For this production it was decided to play Ibsen's "Hedda Gabler," but it was somewhat marred by the fact that the play had to be produced in a little over a fortnight.

On September 16th, an Eric Lee Palmer Memorial Evening was held at 'Varsity, and was the only Dramatic Club function of the year to be largely attended. "The Blind Crowder" was presented, and the evening attained its object, that of giving students and the general public an introduction to the works of 'Varsity's own dramatist.

The Club has two teams entered for the British Drama League Festival, and both should do well in their respective sections.

It is the intention of the Club to produce a three-act play at the beginning of the first term next year in order to assist its finances, which, owing to poor support, are not in a very healthy condition.

The Club desires to put on record the appreciation of its members for the excellent work done by the President, Dr. I. Henning, during the current year.
