In satirical vein, yet containing so much truth as to provide something of an eye-opener for many who blindly trust the ethics of the business man, the revival by the Repertory Theatre of Granville-Barker's "The Voysey Inheritance," which is playing at the Concert Chamber, provides interest and a certain amount of amusement for Wellington theatre-goers. The head of the legal firm of Voysey and Son was not far out when he observed, that "Business today is conducted on the lines of the confidence trick." Edward Voysey, junior partner with his father in the highly-respected firm of solicitors, did not approve of the confidence trick system, but he was "one of those young men who go about the world making difficulties." He made plenty of them for the Voysey family and the clients of his firm by. his disclosures. Not only in his father's time but also ■in his grandfather's time, as Edward found out, Voysey and Son had been using and losing trust moneys placed with them by confiding clients, and some of them intimate personal friends, and people of quite slender means. Sums of money running into tens of thousands to a few hundred pounds had been misapplied to speculation on the Stock Exchange, always in the expectation that some lucky venture would enable losses to be made good and vanished principal sums restored. But so long as interest was regularly paid, as it was, clients remained unsuspicious and content. Voysey hopes, however, were being continually frustrated, and yet the inevitable crash was staved off year after year. It was left to Edward Voysey to expose for all the family and some of the clients to see the corruption within the whited sepulchre over which the name "Voysey" had been chiselled. Among those in the cast are Ronald Kennedy, Daisy Isaacs, G. O. Cooper, P. B. Benham, Cedric Gardiner, G. H. A. Swan, Cecil Burgess, Cecil Steptoe, Lindsay Arlow, R. Gilkison, Ulu Hancock, Cornelia McGreevy, Pat Gledhill, and others. The performance will be repeated to- | night. ______..
