REPERTORY PLAY

"THIS WOMAN BUSINESS"

'There was only one stage setting for the play, "This Woman Business," presented by tho. Repertory Theatre last evening at the Concert Chamber, but that scene was a very good one. It represented a man's sitting-room, where tho characters represented could "gloom" happily together, in browntoned surroundings, just enlightened here' and there with a touch of gold

(and after the one woman came on the scene) with a vase or two of flowers. The furniture was thoroughly comfortable, allowing for lounging in nearly every chair, and the colour schemo was consistent and harmonious throughout —quite a model one for tho purpose it served.

The two feminine characters were the maid "Nettlebank" (Annette Strickland), who was1 neat aud smart in correct black and a dainty cap, and Zita Chapman, who appeared in each scene. Miss Chapman's first frock was a tiiilleur in bottle green, with a pleated, and yet fitting skirt, the little' smart coat being very pleasing. The brimmed hat, worn at a "last-word" angle, was above a white satin blouse with nturn-down collar and tie. Next she wore the maid's costume of black, albeit modern in cut and style. Another change was into a charming frock of a blue-green tone, with an angora woollen skirt and jumper to match. Riding trousers, high brown boots, and a cream shirt blouse and tie were worn in the last scene. The costumes wore in all very .becoming and suitable.
