"OUR TOWN."
Tonight and Thursday, and Friday nights Thornton Wilder's moving play, "bur Town," will bo staged by the Training College Drama Club In the College Hall, Kelburn. This is a piny very different from .the usual—it not only has no scenery and hardly any furniture, but has no climax and no denouement. Yet very few plays, however tense their climax, hold the attention of the audience so completely and absorbingly as "Our Town." Act 1 tells the story of Grover's Corners, a small town in New Hampshire, during the early years of this century; act 2 shows how tho people marry and feel- about marriage, and act 3 how they feel about life arid death. The people are ordinary people who hold no unusual views and do nothing unusual, but the play makes them both moving, and important. ■■■■..
