A repertory theatre, which plans to produce a programme of fine plays, will probably be formed in Christchurch earlv this year (says the Times). The venture will be supported by the Rotary Club. The Repertory movement was begun by Professor J. Shelley, of Canterbury College, when he formed the Little Theatre, whose three productions to date have been very successful. Professor Shelley has always been an enthusiastic worker in amateur dramatio circles. He has given lectures and readings of drama all over the province. The Auckland Little Theatre Society is a thriving organisation with a membership of over a thousand. Snce its founding some excellent plays have been produced.
