Newcomer to A.C. Ranks

Mr. H. H. Thomas, who has a fine voice, is a newcomer to the ranks of the A.D.C. plays one of the bridegrooms, the other being Mr. James Robertson well known to A.C. patrons.

The parents of the three sisters are played by Mrs. P. D. C. Gain and Mr. E. C. Baker; Mrs. Gain has one particularly charming number but Mr. Baker's role is mainly an acting one and he has some exceedingly amusing scenes with Mrs. Grossmann, playing the part of a prima ballerina at the opera. Mrs, Grossmann recently played most successfully in "The Man with a Load of Mischief" and also in "The Women."

Mention must be made of the three companions of von Schober played by Messrs. Moffat, Radford and Talbot who have some fine numbers allotted them and which they put over with considerable effect. Mr. "Billy" Tingle has an amusing role as a detective.

Two of the older A.D.C. members, Isenman and Arnold-Jones, ing that excellent "team-spirit" so essential to the success of amateur productions are playing minor supporting parts.

To sum up "Lilac Time" promises to be a fine show.
