FORTHCOMING SHOWS OF C.A.S.

At a meeting of the committee of the Cambridge group.- of the Community Arts Service last weekfinal arrangements were made in connection with the visit to Cambridge on Monday, May 16, of the Cambridge Opera Group. This company of 18’ talented performers was formed at the Cambridge Music School last January, and presents three one-act operas. The comihittee decided to accept an offer to stage an exhibition of Canadian water colours on Friday, May 27. The exhibition will probably be staged in the Oddfellows’ Hall and will be free to the public of Cambridge. There are 48 paintings in the collection. July 7 was accepted by the committee as the date for the presentation of. Bernard Shaw’s play “Arms and The Man,” produced by Harold Baigent, recently appointed drama tutor to the Adult Education Centre. It was reported that the recently acquired Steinway piano had been valued at £3OO, and as Mrs D. R. Caldwell sold it to the Cambridge Group for £IBO (the price which she gave for it) she had in effect made a donation of £l2O to the C.A.S. The meeting decided to place on Mrs Caldwell’s generosity, and to for-* ward her another letter of thanks.
