“LUCKY DIP”

Repertory Theatre Success Extremely well east and capably acted, the Wellington Repertory Theatre’s performance of the Frank Vosper three-act comedy, “Lucky Dip,” delighted last night’s audience in the Town Hall Concert Chamber. There was just the rightnote of drama, to make the comedy funnier and the smoothness and consistent brightness of the action and the perfect appointments of the set reflected great credit on the producer, Mr. Leo du Chateau.

Tn a east of twelve. Miss Zita Chapman has the most diflieu.lt role to sustain as the distraught Mrs. Cameron, whose confession of the murder of her husband throws a motley but interesting dinnerparty group into a slate of great, excitement. Mr. Selwyn Toogood and Miss Jlnrguerite. Thompson handled the role, of host and hostess with a commendable absence of heaviness of touch. Miss Irene Spidey. as the much-married Jlrs. Carrington Horne, did full justice to the spicy dialogue, and Jlrs. Sidney Tingey as a fussy little woman so mothered everybody that the audience took her at once to their hearts.

“Lucky Dip” begins and 'ends on a cheerful note, and deserves to be ranked ns one of the .most successful of the Wellington Repertory Theatre s efforts. It will be played again to-night and finally to-morrow night.
