FIRST PERFORMANCE

Amalgamated Arts Society In its first performance at the Pioneer Club last evening, the newlyformed Amalgamated Arts Society presented a programme of decided promise to an appreciative audience. An apology was received from Mr. T. O. A. Hislop, patron of the society, who was unable to be present. Mr. J. Hollis, president, spoke for a few moments before introducing Mr. R. A. Wright, M.P., a vicepresident, who spoke encouragingly of the amateur theatrical work done by young people. “It merits the un- > reserved support,” he said, “of the older generation.” The committee of the society is as follows: Chairman, Miss Evelyn Goldsmith; treasurer, Mr. Brian McCawe; honorary secretary; Miss Eileen Fearn; arr’ Mrs. Stanley Fearn, Miss Pat Buckie, Mr. Jack Bromley, and Mr. Ken McGill.
