Amateur Dramatics: Oxford seems to have become the home of Amateur Dramatic Societies. They appear to be as popular with the members of the societies as with the ‘Varsity as a whole’. All the seats for the Saturday night performance of the O.U.D.S. were booked up by Monday morning last, and it is certain that by the time this is in that there won’t be a seat to be had. Last term the Eglesfield Society at Queen’s produced a play. Last week proved conclusively that it contained more than mere “blue stockings.” Despite all the initial disadvantages of producing a play in the college hall, Somerville treated us to a very delightful performance of “Trelawney of the Wells.” The honours must go chiefly to Miss M. McKisack, Miss M. Gaunt, Miss H. Pinsent, and Miss B. Powell. St. Hugh’s is not to be outdone and is to entertain us with a play later in the term. We think that the French Club is selfish in closing its doors to those who-are not members of their club.
