NEW ZEALAND PLAYS
I -Publishes under the auspices of the ■New Zealand branch of the British Drama League, "Seven One-act Plays" incorporates the seven most outstanding manuscripts submitted in connection' with the one-act play competition which was held last year. These- plays have been eulogistically referred to by Damo Sybil Thprndike. The high quality which they all r ev eal shows that there is a distinctly promising future for New Zealand play writers. The seven plays arc "Tho Touchstone," "Fear," and "Rabbits," by Mrs. .V. Targuse, of Christehurch: "Lantern Light," by1 Manic Inglis, also of Christehurch; "Epilogue," by C. N. Surrey Dane; "Tho Man Called Jones," by Eric Bradwell; and "Eeunion,» by John Deane. Tho last three are all of Wellington. Mrs. Targuse's plays have an essentially N-ew Zealand character about them, and are convincing.'' "Lantern Light" is in a sentimental vein, as also is to a certain extent "Reunion." The play "Epilogue" contains very clever dialogue, and "The Man Called Jones" is a sound piece of work. The volume is published by the Radio Publishing Co., Ltd., Wellington, and is well got up. ■-■■»_»
