'The American Players scored a well deserved success on January 23 jat the Embassy Theatre with th production of "The Royal Family.' This lively comedy pictures the casual shiftlessnesss over money matters, the careless generosiidiosyneracies of a family born and bred in a stage tradition which goes back generations. Raging as they occasionally do against the restrictions and tyranny of. their life, atteripting in more or less genuine fashion to adopt an ordinary family life, to sever themselves from it} all," back they all come at the critical moment to their one enduring passion—the footlights.
At first i¢ was all very noisy and confusing. We had to refer constantly to our programme to place the various people who atresred upon the stage, to understand what, all the telephone calls wer about, who was quarrelling with who (for the first act is almost entirely devoted to quarrelling) and to sort out in our minds the different mem-of the dificult and intricate problems with which it is confronted.

Tu conclusion Kindly permit me to convey to you the appreciation of the Council for your ready atfeeptance of its invitation and its cordial wishes that success may fattend upon your labours.
T have the honour to be, E. Annuor, Chairman.
The Honourable Mx. Justice
