You remember the old cinema in the Parket Place?" ""Yes." "It‘s been shut up ever since the new Super Palace opened its ugly gilt doors in the High Street. The Amateur Dramatic people used to hcld theit shows there. The stage and dressing rooms aren‘t too bad at all. I‘ve heard that it was originally built as a theatre â€"long ‘before the pictures cast their sickly thrall over the people." ‘"Well?" "Repertory," he said, solemnly. "With professionals, you mean?" "Yes. I know a dozen jolly good actors and actresses who would take anything which gave them a chance at all. We might even produce some new plays and get the critics down from TLondon." "How old is he?" She shrugged her shoulders:;: "No more than forty." "From what I can hear he‘s rather famousâ€"in his own line." "Rather a comeâ€"down, isn‘t it, after being in London?" ‘"Yes. But it would be gxeat fun if one could get just the right bunch. Linda Keen would come like a shot." _"He‘s not as old as all that!" she pro tested . "Tim says so.

"It‘s just a question of money . . .‘ "I believe that Mr. Brereton might be interested. He has the most catholic tastes." "He saw me in For no Man.‘ He was very decent about it although he said the play was bunkâ€"as it was. But I couldn‘t â€"ask him." "MY HOPELESS ROMANCE* After lunch Betty Somers took her Airedale for a walk over the Common. At the top of the hill she took the path skirting the grounds of Cheriton House which led her to the wildest part of the Common. Half way along this lane a gate led into the orchard behind the house and here she found Prereton sitting on the gate smoking a cigar and watching the valley below, half shrouded in pearl grey mist. "I believe its the sort of thing which would amuse him." ‘"‘Hallo!" he greeted her. ‘ ‘More exâ€" ercise?" ‘‘Yes. Peter needs it." "He‘s a nice beast, This is a lovely place.

A solo by Miss Jean Roberts won a wellâ€"deserved encore, and the response in the form of a duet by Miss Roberts and Mr. Jas. Geils made an eqaually decided hit with the audience. Mr. Jas. Geils renâ€" dered "The Admiral‘s Broom" in very effective way and was enthusiastically encored. The big audience gave little Miss Murdock the auietest and closest attention in her rendition of a humâ€" crous reading and found themselves well repaid, for the young lady gave a very clever and attractive recitation. An encore was insisted upon and the response by the talented young lady, a description of a Dude, was much enâ€" joyed.
