The main feature making up the of the forthcoming function is the production of two one-act plays, and that these show promise of being good entertain- ment is vouched for by the fact that most of the artistes taking part are people who have had pre- vious experience on the local stage. The plays to be performed, and now in rehearsal, are "The Old Lady Shows Her Medals,” a de lightful Barric effort, and the trial scene from The Bells." The lat ter play is well-known as the one that helped to build the reputation as an actor of the late Bir Henry Irving. Since then H. B. Irving, equally famous in the Theatre World, Sir John Martin Harver, and other actors of the older school, have produced, and perirmed in, "The Bells" from time to time with definite success. It is a pro- duction however rarely attempted by amateur players, and it will be interesting therefore, to see our local thespians make of what is considered extremely difficult stage work.
