KATHLEEN AROON The success that was achieved by the Irish musical play “Kathleen Aroon,” has led to many requests that the show should be repeated, and a repeat performance will be given at the Town Hall to-night, by the members of the St. Columba Repertory Society. Under the production of Mrs. J. W. Dickson, “Kathleen Aroon” was immensely successful, and a crowded house should attend the third performance. Charming Irish melodies, ballets, some of Greymouth’s best-known vocalists, a large chorus, are combined with a story brimful of interest, the ingredients that go to make “Kathleen’ Aroon” so enjoyable. More than eighty, all told, take part in the production, which is on all sides acclaimed as one of the best amateur productions that have appeared on a Greymouth stage. Proceeds are in aid of Marist School fund, and prices are low. ANNUAL RAILWAY BALL. The elaborate arrangements for the 1934 annual railway ball, to be held on Friday, are rapidly nearing completion.
