A BARRIE EVENING.
W.E.A. LECTURE AND PLAY. SATIRE ON SUCCESS. A reading of Barrie’s delightful oneact comedy ‘‘The Twelve-pound Look” will be given at the Municipal Social Hall at the opening of the W.E.A. course on ‘‘Writers with a Message” this evening. This play'has been described by J. A. Hamorton as the best one-act piece ever written. It will illustrate the lecture to be given by Mr. J. A. Brailsford, BA., the new tutor organiser for the Victoria University College district, on ‘‘Barrie’s Satire on (Success.” Barrie, despite'his own outstanding success, has confessed that he has a weakness for “ipeople who don’t get on,” and in many of his plays he makes fun of the selfsatisfied worshippers of the god success. The cast for the play-reading will be as follows:—Kate (divorced wife of Sir Harry Sims), Miss O. R. Sutherland; Lady Sims, Miss Calwell; Sir Harry 'Sims, Mr. V. Gooding; butler, Mr. F. E. S. Rockel.
