“NIGHT MUST FALL

Three-Act Thriller To Be Presented

ENTERPRISE SHOWN BY LOCAL A.D.C

"Night Must Fall" the three- fact thriller which is to be pre- sented by the A.D.C. during the first week in November, might de described perhaps as the psycho logical study of a murderer. Such a description. however, suggests something in the weighty and gloomy genre of the Russian school, and conjures up a picture of woebegone peasants in danki forests and monosyllabic discourse. This is so far from true of Emlyn Williams' brilliant play that one is tempted to go to the other ex- treme and describe it as a highly jamusing comedy. More than one

critic, indeed; has commented the cleverness with which the au- thor has combined the stark drams of the basic theme with dialogue written in a rich vein of humour.
