"SWEET LAVENDER."
The second performance of "Sweet Lavender," by the Little Theatre Players, was staged last night in the Concert Chamber before a large and appreciative audience. His Excellency the GovernorGeneral (Lord Bledisloe) will be present at to-night's performance. The play is full of delightful comedy blended with drama. An excellent cast is headed by Mr. Clement May, who, as Dick Phenyl, a loveable down-at-heels barrister, captures the heart of the audience from the beginning. The role of Lavender is ably acted by Miss Dorothy Miller, whose girlishness and sweetness suit the part admirably. Miss Madge Thomas as Lavender's mother is a valuable member of the cast, and Horace Bream, the persistent American, played by Mr. Ken. Aitlcen, helps to provide the comedy. The frocking of the period is of particular appeal to the ladies. Mr. May has gathered together a very fine company for the presentation of Sir Arthur Pinero's ever-green comedy-drama, and Wellington audiences, never slow to appreciate good work ■by amateurs, have already given their approval of the Little Players' excellent effort. "Sweet Lavender" will be repeated to-night and to-morrow night.
