297 Nanking Road Telephone 97026 a group of distinguished amateurs have been working feverishly for weeks towards making Ferenc Molnars "Liliom", which is to be presented at the Lyceum Theatre on March 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, one of the outstanding dramatic and social successes of the season, at the same time adding further to the funds already collected.

It is obvious that when the question of doing something for charity or a good cause comes into play, everyone concerned gives the very best he or she can. Mr. Francis G. Gmehling, known for his outstanding work with the A.D.C. and other dramatic groups, is overjoyed with the progress which has been made during rehearsals so far. He will play the main part of "Liliom" himself and has taken great care to select his cast in such a manner as to assure the success of the affair well before the curtain rises on the gala opening performance.

Other members of the cast include:

Mrs. Jocelyn Ricketts, Mrs. Phil Tweedlie, Mrs. Pat Merritt, Miss Dallas Lee Franklin, Mrs. May Pecaric, Mr, Donald MacAlister, Mr. H. Visser, Mr. F. N. Mollitz Mr. Ian Sinclair, Mr. Douglas Mortlock, Mr. Sidney Tremlett, Mr, Charles Cumming, Mr. Bill Hunt, Mr. R, Spivey and Mr. C. J. Merritt.

A committee consisting of Mr, John McNeil, Mr. R. T. Peyton-Griffin, Mr. R. J. E. Price and Mr, E. S. Wilkinson are busily engaged in attending to the many things which go towards making an amateur production a success.
