THE GREAT BROXOPP

SOME OF THE FROCKS \ As the setting for "The Great Broxopp" (A. A. Milne), presented bv the Little Theatre Society on Saturday night in the concert chamber, was for part of the time in a garret in Bloomsbury, London, there was not a great deal of scope for elaborate frocking. In the opening scene Ethehvyn Geddes, who played the part of Nancy Broxopp. wife of the Great Broxopp, wore a pink checked gingham frock, with narrow lace frilling at neck and cuffs. She later appeared in a well-cut black marocain frock with pleating in the front of the skirt and deep square collar at the neck of white organdie. A later appearance was made in a smart blue-grey tailored suit with navy blue taffetas blouse and navy Breton sailor hat. Doreen Sharp, as Iris Tenterdon, modern but kind-hearted, was seen in an attractive black and white frock patterned in a floral design, with red and narrow black bands outlining the neckline and sleeves. Another frock was of black and white spotted crepe, with white organdie collar and wide black leather belt. In the last act she wore a black tailored suit with furs and a black cire straw hat with a cluster of flowers in the front. As Honoria Johns, a friend of Iris, Yvonne Lock made her appearance in a black and white striped frock, with a white, stiffened muslin collar at the neck, and pleated skirt.
