WAIMATE THREE-ACT PLAY

Success Achieved Presentation by Repertory Society Last night and on Wednesday night, amateur drama of a very high standard was staged in the Olympia Hall by the Walmate Repertory Society. The production was "The Middle Watch," written by lan Hay and Stephen KingHall. The cast was a large one. The producer was Mr W. P. Black, the stage manager Mr J. C. Winning and the business manager, Mr F R. G. Aitken. The Walmate Orchestral Society provided music. Throughout, the play moved briskly, and no humorous point was mossed.
