"LOVE ON THE DOLE" The problems, trials, and tragedies of our own day in a workaday scene that might have been set in any industrial centre in the world, form the subject of the powerful and able play, "Love on the Dole," which will be presented for one night only in the Concert Chamber of the Town Hall to-morrow evening by the W.E.A. Arts and Drama Class. The play, is the work of two collaborators, Ronald Gow and Walter Greenwood, the latter of whom caused a sensation with the compelling force and vivid candour of his novel of the same name. The dramatic adaptation retains all the vigour and significance of the book, having this advantage, perhaps, that it presents in condensed and concentrated form the appalling difficulties against which the great army of unemployed in a half a hundred countries had.to struggle for years. "Love on the Dole" is without doubt one of the outstanding plays of either the British or American stage of late years, and makes its appeal and achieves its object by interpreting things not as they appear to be but as they are. The production is in the capable hands of Mrs Ailsa Stephens, and it has been .well cast. It is a play that should certainly be seen.
