‘THE MAN FROM TORONTO’

On Wednesday next at the Town Hall Concert Chamber the Dunedin Strolling Players will present their seventh annual production, ‘ The Man from Toronto.’ In the past this talented company of amateurs has presented many excellent productions, and no pains have hocu spared to make this year’s play a worthy successor to its predecessors.

Tho story of the play concerns a Canadian who has been left four million dollars by Ids undo conditional on Ids marrying a certain Mrs Calthorpo, a young and charming English widow. Mr Priestly, the legal adviser and guardian of Mrs Calthorpo, informs tho latter of tho position, and arranges to take tho Canadian to her home. The widow decides to pretend she is the parlourmaid, and hands the guest on his arrival a note indieating that Mrs Calthorpo had been suddenly called .out of town. The Canadian falls in love with the pseudo-par-lourmaid, and from then on tho situations become laughable in the extreme. The box plan is open at the D.I.C. The proceeds arh in aid of the silver jubilee appeal of tho Dunedin Y.M.C.A.
