PRIZE WINNERS
DRAMA FESTIVAL RESULTS
The drama festival of the Women's Institutes, which concluded last night, resulted in the country award going to Waihi for "Anti-clockwise."' the city prize to Avondale for "Martha and Mary." and the prize for the best comedy. "Mrs. Jarley's Waxworks," to Bcl-mont-Takapunn. Mrs. Judith Terry, the adjudicator, was under the impression at the beginning of the evening that the Henderson entry "They Wanted a Tragedy," was non-comedy, but had she understood that it was a comedy. it would have taken a first place in its section. Mrs. Terry said that the standard appeared to have reached a stage where only skilled producers could improve it. She added that she was one of the adjudicators who frowned on women taking men's parts.
