MRS ROBERT GILKISON, winner of the Lady Ferguson rose bowl in the play-writing competition which formed a part of last week’s Drama Festival. Miss Bassett remarked that this play should find a place in the literature of New Zealand, and hoped that it would be staged by New Zealand players in the near future. With talent and enterprise of this nature, she added, it should be possible to build up a national theatre. Mrs Gilkison was also successful in the one-act play competition at the Otago Women’s Club, her plays being placed 1 and 2.
