LONDON PERSONALS

(By "The Post's" Representative.) • - • LONDON, November 7. ' Miss F. Olive Seth-Smith, for the last five years, has been in South Africa living in Southern Rhodesia and Natal. In both^ countries she was closely connected with the native peoples, which has enabled her to realise tho unique attitude of New Zealand towards its Maori folk, enabling them to develop on their own lines and to live in freedom and happiness among the European population. Miss Seth-Smith hopes this month to fly by Imperial Airways from London to Salisbury, Southern Rhodesia. . With the amazing development of flying who knows whether she may not visit relatives in Now Zealand by air! Miss Lucille Lisle (Wellington) was taken suddenly ill a few days ago, but her progress since so far has been quite satisfactory. Miss Lisle had the good fortune to be cast in that very successful play,, "The Late Christopher. Bean," with Cedric Hardwick and Edith Evans in the dead. Her selection for one of the junior parts was the sequel to her having at short notice taken Miss Edna Best's part in "Another Language." Miss Lisle had.been Miss Best's understudy, and she saved the situation when the latter : had to retire from the cast. The 200 th performance of "The Late Christopher Bean" takes place tonight.
