'SPRING TIDE'
REPERTORY'S NEXT PRODUCTION There Is something about a comedy that appeals to almost every type of playgoer. There is no problem about it, no highly emotional scenes to agitato tho mind, no wondering if everything will come right in the end, for no comedy is worth its salt unless all the tangled skeins are straightened out before the end of act 3. A comedy’s chief duty is to amuse, to titillate the risible faculties by the very absurdities of the situations created. ‘ Spring Tide,’ by Geo. Billam and J. B. Priestley, is a comedy true to type, and played witli that light touch which a good comedy demands, should produce gusts, and oven gales, of laughter during its progress. In short, ‘ Spring Tide ’ is a really humorous comedy. 1 Spring Tide ’ is the Dunedin Repertory Society's choice for its next major production. It will he played tor n season of four nights at His Majesty’s Theatre, commencing Wednesday, July 0, ‘Spring Tide’ will be interpreted by a lirst-rat" cast, ami wli be produced by Air Walter Rusecll-Wood.
