Compton Players’ success<\/h2>\n

In Two-Night Comedy<\/h4>\n

For the second production the Compton Players presented the three-act comedy At Mrs Beam\u2019s<\/strong>, by C K Munro in the village Hall on Tuesday and Wednesday last week.<\/p>\n

This well-knit play gave ample opportunity for individual characterisation. The part of the loquacious busybody, Miss Shoe, was well sustained by Miss P Person; and Miss B Piper and Mr A Walton rose above the amateur portrayal of cosmopolitan crooks.<\/p>\n

Of the remaining inmates of Mrs Beam\u2019s boarding house, \u201cold Miss Cheezle\u201d was amusingly played by Mrs F Maskell, while Mrs G Johns gave a realistic presentation of the incredulous bridge fiend, Mrs Babb. The dreamy, middles-aged toper, Mr Durrows, was in the safe hands of Mr E Golby. Other parts were well taken by Misses B Hill and N Pearse, and Messrs J Bishop and G Smith, the latter giving a thoughtful study of calf love. The Notting Hill Gate establishment was most adequately conducted by Mr E Hill. The play was produced by Mr H J Johns.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
