Rabaul. June 30.
The farce “See How They Run” was successfully produced by Miss Jo Keating, of the R.S.L. Players, and her well chosen cast got every ounce of mirth and merriment out of a fast sequence of wildly improbable happenings.
On a more sombre note, and more ambitiously “theatre”, was The Malaguna Players’ presentation of “The Case of the Frightened Lady”, produced by Keith Armistead under the direction of Arthur Savage—who, incidentally, was chiefly re sponsible for the fine settings, as well as giving an effective characterisation of the last of a long line of lordly lunatics.
Some untried players proved equal to exacting parts: in fact, Stan Dwyer, as Sergeant Totty, partly stole the show.
With such a nucleus, Rabaul should be able to stage some really worthwhile pro ductions in the near future.
Pitcairn Island, in the South Paci fic, with an entire boy population of nine, recently was advised it can boast of being the only place in the
world where every available boy is a Scout.
