Wau Dramatic Club

THE new goldfields town of Wau, in New Guinea, possesses a live and thorough amateur theatrical society, which produces plays of a high standard about every ten weeks. All the produc tions are in the capable hands of Major E. B. Ayris, who has had considerable experience of stage work professionally and as an amateur, in various parts of the world. The standard of the plays given to Wau and district compare fav ourably with amateur productions in the big cities —which is remarkable consid ering the small population and compara tive isolation of the tropical mining town.
