The second production will be Hall Caine’s most popular novel “The Christian” dramatised to suit the public taste. The third piece will be the popularmelodrama “Work and Wages” with its wealth of fine scenery, interesting and sustaining plot and popular comedy. Another production will be “The Sign of the Cross” by special arrangements with J. C. Williams Esq Th’s play is really the “play of the century.” Nothing yet produced has made the impression that this play has upon all theatre goers, Sardon’s sublime tragedy "Fedora” will also be given and others are in active rehearsal.
