ONE-ACT PLAYS k l WHALLEY


IWHALLEY Church Players ’ are more fortunate than m a n y amateur dramatic


societies In that they have excellent reserves of talented yoiingsters ito draw on for thqlr productions.


' ' .Theyhave achieved this by


the formation of a junior; section, which, in addition.to; ensuring that 'the society has an[ excellent source of talent •fo? the future .also takes an active .paft; by presenting plkys on its own account.


■ The quality of this junior


section was again demonstra­ ted on Satiirday night when they presented one of the three one-act plays given by the Players in the Church of England School.


They reached a high


standard iri tlielr production of[ Roland’I Pertwee’s comedy “ Postal Orders,” and their success was due In large part tb the produce^ Miss R. Stubbs,.whose experience and skill in the field of amateur dramatics Is of great asset to trie juniors. Taking part were Helga L a n c a s t e r , Margaret !Tuson, Kathleen (Gregory, Betty Robinson and Better, C o t t e r l l l . | ,


sIeNIORS’ ; CONTRIBUTION ''j.The senior members of the


society also ■ contributed to the success of the evening’s performance. Their choice


of the play “ The Creel of Trout,"’ ' by - Neil, Graht,; -was in complete contrast to the light-hearted comedy of the juniors’ choice, and therefore was all the more difiicult to portray.,.-iNevertheless,, they, successfully created an eerie atmosphere of suspense and suspicion,.:


I T h i s I was successfully. Achieved | by ^Frederick W Bullock;' Frank K. lUlng-^ worth, Mrs. Elsie Kershaw and R. Geoffrey Altham.


i


I The senior items were pro­ duced' by:' Mr. Frederick'W. Bullock, who has, been. res- jponslble for some excellent productions in the past by the Church Players. ,
