Sparkling After-Theatre Party

On Saturday, August 15, at the conclusion of the Dramatic Club's eminently successful season, the committee entertained members of the cast (and sympathisers) at an informal supper-party which must rank among Victoria's most noteworthy social functions. Flushed with success and all that, the Young Folk were in high fettle and only the timely intervention of Mr. Pritchard and the night-watchman prevented the party from becoming a furore. Some surprisingly novel bar-parlour games were introduced and indulged in by Mr. Riske who later on in the evening insisted on giving the company a vigorous and stirring recital of "The Wrecker" (with appropriate actions). Mr. Hannah also excelled himself in his touching interpretation of that exquisite aria, "O Where Is My Wandering Boy To-night!"

Among the distinguished guests were Mr. Cedric Wright, Miss Jessica Martin (who hasn't been heard of since), and Mr. W. P. Rollings whose tragically sudden departure was rather a blow.

It will surprise our readers to learn that on the evening following the party it was found necessary to domicile Mr. Riske in the Hobson Street Hospital, and although his condition will always excite comment, we understand that he is now well on the road to recovery.
