Other well-known names are Kenneth Brampton, one-time producer for the Auckland Little Theatre Society, Ncal Douglas and Arthur Clark. Baymond Longford has been engaged as producer. The story of '"The Hayseeds" is not entirely of the bush, as more than half the action and comedy is written round city locations, and songs and music will have a prominent, place in the production. Sydney's leading ballet, under Richard White, will introduce some spectacular song and dance numbers, and it is worthy of note that Alfred Lawrence, composer of "I Wouldn't Leave My Little Wooden Hut For You,"- is writing special songs for this production.
