LITTLE THEATRE.

TWO SHORT PLAYS. The Little Theatre at Canterbury Collate was completely filled last night, when "The Twelve Pound Look," by Barrie, and "The Locked Chest." by Masefield. were presented. All the proceeds—some twenty potrnds —go towards the Connon Hall funds. Barrie's comedy was produced by Miss Valerie Tennent, who took one of the two leading parts. Miss Tennent is obviously highly talented, much better, in fact, thsn many of the professionals who come here from time to time. If she will master completely the use of her hands, there •* eol J to be do reason to suppose that th€ will not be more than equal to any of the demand* which, it is to be hoped, will in future be placed upon her. As Kate the typist she was most convincing. Mr E. B. E. Ta J. l £ r did very well in what must be a most aimcult part. Miss Carol West-Watson Mr R. A. Young acted well in smaller The second plav, 1 'The Locked Chest. by Masefieid, was a'n interesting drama. « was produced by Professor Pocock. who the leading part, that of Thord Goddi. tne farmer. Vigdis, his wife, played by Pocock, and Ingrald, played by *' ' Struthers, were the two other Bii» ters, and the acting of all three w " excellent. The change of demean oar in Vigdis as the climax was approached was perhaps the best thing in the play. ' M. Brookes, as Thordolf. carried off an awxward part very successfully. The management should be well T>at the enthusiasm shows by a deli* audience.
