THESPIANS MEET
Alone of plays by modern playwrights, the works of Walter Hackett seem to defy classification—though they contain comedy, they are not altogether comedies; they have drama, but they’ are not dramas in the accepted sense of the word; and though there are thrills aplenty, they are certainly not thrillers. It is therefore difficult to classify Hackett’s “Other Men’s Wives,” which was read by the Thespians at their usual weekly meeting last night, but the large audience of members, uninterested in classification, thoroughly enjoyed the reading, in which the following members took part:—Ngaire Horton. Zenocrate Mountjoy. Evan Harroweli, Warren Toogood, Jack Simpson. Charles Acheson. Maurice Solomon and Max Willis. Stage directions were read by Janet Stirling.
