"Payment Deferred"

Sir-With reference to the re- port which appeared in your yesterday's issue regarding the first Performance by the A.D.C. at the Star Theatre of Jeffrey Dell'a drama "Payment Deferred", I was very surprised that no reference was made to the behaviour of the late comers who burst into the Theatre in dribs and drabs, some In evening dress and others cloth- ed otherwise. Probably your re- porter was seated up above, and Those of did not bear the noise.

A much appreciated entertain- ment was given by the versatile Plerce, vaudeville artiste Fred whose humour and songs were ac- corded a hearty reception, and many encores were demanded. Ha excellent

those present.

In the afternoon a happy fune-

tion took place when a newly married couple Mr. and Mrs. Ro- bert de Voos, Jr., gave a private tiffin party to their friends at the hotel. They were also present at the dinner dance in the evening.

The effect that this noise had on the players was obvious: the actors in the Prologue did not have a fair chance to leave with the audience that preliminary im- pression and atmosphere which of "Payment for the success Deferred" is essential.
