The Hall was well filled and a’ responsive aud­ ience had a thoroughly enjoyable ev­ ening’s entertainment. Quite early in the play the players gripped their audience and from then on till the end the interest never waned. The play was built round the happenings “When Bickley Comes to Town” and things happen with a vengence. The play was well cast and characteriza­ tion and interpretation were well done The play is full or rapid action, spark­ ling dialogue, broad humour, and has a serious note running through it that brings a gripping climax. The actors gave the impression that they were thoroughly masters of the situation all through the production; there was no groping for words and no hesita­ tion at any time. The individual work was of a uniformly high quality and all worked together in splendid team work. The group work in the part­ icularly exciting scenes where so much depends on correct timing and perfect co-ordination of effort was markedly successful. The play will take its place amongst the best that have been produced in local circles. The caste consisted of the following artists. Mri Jas. McCrea, as Jimmy Samson, the agent of the Bickley Slogan Com­ pany; Mr. Geo. Michie, as Bob Man­ nion the Editor of the small town newspaper under Wagrim’s control; Mr. Borden Scott, as Jud Fenton, the town’s humorist as well as its loafer; Mr. Harold Vincent, as Wagrim, the villian of the play.
