The former presented two one-act plays, <strong>Husbands are a Problem<\/strong>, by Muriel and Sidney Box, in which an all-female cast, comprising Mesdames Dolan, Pearse, Maskell, Hill, Simmons, Webb, and Johns gave point to this neat comedy; and <strong>The Man in the Bowler Hat<\/strong>, by A A Milne. This farcical play called forth creditable performances from Mesdames Morris, N Pearse and Maskell. Between presentations the choir sang a group of nine part-songs ranging in period of composition from di Lasso to Vaughan Williams.\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Husbands are a Problem by Muriel and Sydney Box The Man in the Bowler Hat by A A Milne 1st November 1949 The Man in the Bowler Hat In this one act comedy, a terribly exciting little affair happens in the humdrum life of John and Mary, a tempest in a teapot, but while it [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":8,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.comptonplayers.co.uk\/comptonplayers-c\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2620"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.comptonplayers.co.uk\/comptonplayers-c\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.comptonplayers.co.uk\/comptonplayers-c\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.comptonplayers.co.uk\/comptonplayers-c\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.comptonplayers.co.uk\/comptonplayers-c\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2620"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.comptonplayers.co.uk\/comptonplayers-c\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2620\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2621,"href":"https:\/\/www.comptonplayers.co.uk\/comptonplayers-c\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2620\/revisions\/2621"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.comptonplayers.co.uk\/comptonplayers-c\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.comptonplayers.co.uk\/comptonplayers-c\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2620"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
