The Simla Amateur Dramatic Club, in whose productions many famous men and women have at one time played, is preparing to celebrate its centenary. On the stage in the Gaiety Theatre. Simla, where for the last 50 years its performances have been given, Lord Baden-Powell once appeared in “The Geisha.” and one of the society’s most treasured photographs shows the Chief Scout, in Chinese costume, having his pigtail pulled by a coy young Geisha girl. Kipling’s mother played in one of the club’s "productions, and Kipling himself wrote a prologue to a burlesque for them. In 1878 Lord Lytton. then Viceroy of India, wrote a “ thriller" for the club; it was “ called ” “ Walpole.” and was an exciting tale of Jacobite plots, written in rhyming Alexandrines.
