Perform Three Plays.
From Our Own Correspondent.
Pt. Moresby, Dec. 15
ON December 6, the London Mis sionary Society arranged a dramatic entertainment in the Institute Hall at Port Moresby. The performers all being Papuans, it was of unusual interest.
His Excellency Sir Hubert Murray and many members of the Government were present, and keenly appreciated the histrionic efforts of the native teachers and students who took part in the two short, one-act plays.
They showed considerable ingenious ness, humour and originality in their impersonations.
The programme was an old Papuan legend dramatised by members of the local native scout troop; musical in terlude, by the Poreporena native choir, under Mr. J. Spychiger; and two short one-act plays (original), by
native teachers and students of the
L.M.S.
Members of the London Missionary Society are to be complimented upon the excellent results of their intensive cultivation of the Papuans.
