“DADDY LONG-LEGS”

BY ST. CUTHBERT’S OLD GIRLS Rehearsals of “Daddy Dong-legs” to be given by St. Cuthbert’s Old Girls' Association on December 13 and 14, are now well advanced. The producer is particularly pleased with the work of the junior members of the cast who play the charity-home orphans in the first act; the freshness and spontaneity of their acting being quite delightful. The orphans’ parts are played by Phyllis Dilworth,- Bettie Colwill, Ruth Kirkbride, Lorna Crump, Shirley Crump, and little Judy Moore (aged two). It is hoped that the play will receive a large measure of public support in view of the object, to help the Free Kindergartens of Auckland. Full particulars will be found advertised elsewhere in this issue. The cast includes Lowrie McGregor, A. H. Fryer- Raisher, Linda de Renzv, Maida Mclndoe, Kathleen Teape, Helen Seabrook, Merle Cox, Gladys Gravson, Mollie Simmonds, Nancy Paterson, George Moody, Hamish Henderson, S. M. Yallop, John Gordon and Bruce Elliot.
