+Not since pre-war years has the Dramatic Group been able to hire a hall and put on a full night of plays, though we have had some very enjoyable club-room entertainments. This time they put on four plays. In the first, "A narrative of nerves, nurses and nitwits", entitled "The Rest Cure", Ray Kirkby, looking convincingly debilitated, took part of the neurotic patient. Joan Savage took the part of his happy wife - happy because he couldn't get out of hospital for at least a month - while Betty Hurley and Betty Rose took the parts of "Dark Cat" and "Fair Cat" the unfeeling nurses. Edna Stretton, was the confiding hospital domestic who cheered Clarence the patient with tales of the sufferings df the patients and hints on how to tell when they were really sick.

+Thb second was "Poor Old Sam" - "A pathetic pastoral pantomime" in which Sam, acted by Kevin Ardill, who has been fired from job for umpteenth time, decides to put on a hanging scene for the benefit of his nagging wife Martha (part taken by Dorothy Lawry). There was some very amusing by-play between Sam and Daffydill, a bloodthirsty maiden from nearby (part by Joan Savage) and, of course, in the middle of it in wander a cheerful couple (Betty Hurley and Jack Wren) who must have a cup of tea. The hanging wasn't at all successful and "Poor Old Sam" went back to work rather than help his wife with the launderihg business.

+"The Poison Party" - "A tragedy of questionable origin and definitely doubtful period" was very well cast. Doreen Harris took the part of the Queen Mother, who offered the poisoned tarts to the wicked damsel Denise de Beaujolis (Grace Jolly) who was seducing her son, King Charles (Jack Wren) and to her father Monsieur de Beaujolis (Kevin Ardill). Richard Croker was a very convincing Cardinal who was gratified to find he was to have one of the unpoisoned tarts. Things reach a climax when, due to the King eating all the unpoisoned tarts before the party started, it is discovered that only poisoned tarts remained and they have all had one. However, the status quo is restored when it is found that the king's rabbit ate the poisoned dish of dainties and exploded shortly after, the cook substituting another dish.

+The last play was "Two women and a Telephone", the moral of which was "Let the Punishment Fit the Crime". It was a really clever performance - good acting by any comparison. Diana Savage took the part of the flirting wife (Madge) caught out by her husband and asking her friend Pauline (Joan Savage) for an alibi. It might have worked except that Pauline soon smelt a rat and found that it was __her__ husband who had been out in the car with Madge. Followed an amusing scene in which Pauline, per telephone, renews an old flirtation with Madge's husband, while Madge writhes nearby. Pauline keeps it up right to the point of arranging an evening's outing.
