If Gossip We Must

Heartiest congratulations are due to Mrs. Grossman for her most successful production of: that thrilling play Ten Minute Alibi which opened its run at the Royal "Naval Canteen Theatre on Satur

day night. Those who attended the first night were rewarded by a brilliant performance. The plot is conviricing and the interest is so well sustained that the audience is held tense and spellbound until the final climax which brings down

the curtain.

adores.

Changed before our eyes into a cold-blooded murderer who calculates with mathematical ex- actitude the ten minute auki which will give him his only chance of escaping detection! Gerald Nigel held the sympathy of his audience from the word go; and gave a moving interpretation of the part of the young lover.

A BIG RECEPTION

Veronica Evens was the only, woman in the caste and acquitted beiself admirably. She displayed a "great deal of charm in her un- sophisticated attempts at worldly wisdom. in her early scenes:" and her unforced sweetness was so ap paying that we must forgive Her ir she failed occasionally in the tragic moments later on.

Eric Brooks gave a simply splen- all performance as the obsequious Valet, and came out strongly in the scene where he is badgered by the detectives..

Gerald Nigel, as the hero, proved an excellent foil and gave a natur- al and earnest interpretation of the part of "Derwent." We see

rather too slowly.. a fault which will probably improve when he is word-perfect.

Dr. and Mrs. Black were with Mr. and Mrs. Eric Mitchell (who,

by the way, was wearing a lace dress of a particularly attractive Lady shade of sapphire blue). Furnival and Mr. Dent were not far behind, the former most lovely in dark green-and-fur. Dr. and Mrs. Moore were with Mrs. Lindsell and her Niece Miss Molleson, who look- ed extremely pretty in a coat of white fur.
