'OUR MISS GIBBS' STARTS ON SATURDAY

There is plenty of humour in the delightful musical comedy, ‘Our Miss Gibbs,’ and the Operatic Society has been fortunate in obtaining the services of some excellent artists to do it full justice. Cecil Leopold, a Yorkshire country cousin, has a most hilarious role to' portray in Timothy. Bernard Sullivan has some clever work to do as the Hon. Hughie Pierrepont, and Mark Gaston in the part of “ Slithers,” a professional crook, is also full of amusement. Amongst the ladies, Gwenda Burt plays the delightfully amusing part of “Madame Jeanne,” who has to speak with both a Scotch or French accent, whichever the occasion demands, and Edna Lungr le‘y plays the dignified Duchess of Minster, a* part which has plenty of scope for adding to the humour of the general scene. Kay Mutimer plays the leading role of Mary, Gordon Sutherland, as Lord Eynsford, plays opposite Miss Mutimer, and other important parts are played by Noeline Moody, Sybil Henderson, Gordon Roberts, Harold Davidson, and Anthony Spears. Anita Oliver is the producer, and Xgila Slowley is presenting the delightfid ballets and ensembles, while James Clark is the musical director. The box plan arrangements are advertised
