WELLINGTON REPERTORY THEATRE.
Mr. John van Druten is unquestionably one of the most prolific and popular of present-day playwrights. Members and followers of the Wellington Repertory Society will' remember his "Young Woodley" done by a J. C. Williamson Company a few years ago, and they will also have most pleasant recollections of his "London Wall,'.'.produced by Mr. Wauchop for this society in 1933. The-announcement, thereforethat "After All" is to be given four performances in the Concert Chamber commencing tomorrow evening is a welcome one; Many of the critics differ as to which is Mr. van Druten's best play, and some unhesitatingly prefer "After All." What One particularly admir.es about "After All" is that it is humorous, pathetic, and true. Its characters live, some perhaps a little | daringly, all typical of their times. "After All" conveys without preaching, a philosophy. Its incidents convince, and. it holds 'the mirror up to two generations in a way that gives, one to think. An able cast, an experienced staff, and some artistic settings should provide a fitting close to the society's achievements during the year. Mr. W. S. Wauchop has charge of the pro? duction. The box plans for the season are at the D.I.G. .
