Round the Shows

‘OUTWARD BOUND” EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE If there is any proof of the keen interest in repertory theatre work, it is at the Concert Chamber, where the Auckland Little Theatre Society is playing “Outward Bound.” A crowded house followed with sympathy and understanding the voyage of Sutton Vane’s curious vessel and her more curious cargo. The play is one of the finest contributions to modern drama, and should be seen for that reason alonef even excepting the fact that the cast is the finest

which has yet interpreted a play for the society. Roberts Tole makes a splendid job of his part; Daphne Knight is excellent, Arnold Goodwin gives just the required amount of . friendliness and tolerance to makfe his part a success; Linda Murphy, J. Swan, John. Stewa ?t, Nance St. Clair Whyte, Montagu Steele and F. L. Armitage, all played their parts with a full knowledge of what required of them. The atmosphere of the play was most admirably sustained. “Outward Bound” * will be played again this evening and on Monday evening. SCIENCE OF CHIROPRACTIC LECTURE TO-MORROW History reveals the fact that 2,000 years ago the Greeks, who attained possibly the highest degree of physical perfection the human race has ever known, practised a crude form of chiropractic. f The Chinese “witch” doctors, too, secured wonderful results by some hind of treatment of the cervical vertebrae. Almost every native race in the world practises, and has practised for centuries, some form of spinal therapy, yet the civilised world is only just awakening to this ancient modern truth. The lecture to be given on “The Science of Chiropractic,” in the Concert Chamber of the Town Hall on the 17th, by Miss Freda Duggan, D.C., should therefore prove most interesting and instructive. MUSICAL RECITAL GRAFTON HALL ON TUESDAY A recital of pianoforte and vocal music will be held in the Grafton Hall on Tuesday next by \Mr. Cyril Walshe and pupils, assisted by Miss Margaret Daley, violinist. “MILDRED AND CONNIE” MAJESTIC NEXT WEEK •Mildred and Connie Harris, the .two melody girls from the Mildred Harris Revue, will appear 'in a pot-pourri of song and instrumental music at the Majestic next Friday. They provide a bright, colourful act, with variety as its keynote. Vivacious and pretty, they have that intangible something—call it personality if you like—that wins them the affection and admiration of the entire audience as soon os they step before the footlights. Their harp and violin solos are the gems of the entertainment. On the pictorial programme will be “Sadie Thompson,” with glorious Gloria Swanson.
