Compton Players' debut

The newly-formed drama group, known us the Compton Players, under their producer, Mr. H. J. Johns, presented J. B. Priestley's comedy of detection Mystery at Greenfingers, in the Village Hall on Wednesday and Thursday last week.

The excellent stage setting owed much to the skill of Messrs. W. J. Hayward and P. A. Baker, who were responsible for the scenery and lighting respectively. Two large and enthusiastic audiences were greatly entertained by the clever dialogue and neat plot, well put across by the cast, comprising Mesdames M. Brown, P. Heath, E. Hill, F. Maskell, P. Person. P. Simmons; and Messrs. E. Golby, B. Hedley, O. Smith and A. Walton.

Inspired by the welcome accorded their initial venturw, the Players are hoping to produce another full-length play at the end of the year.
