This popular Kentish Club have just held a very successful Dramatic Entertainment at the New Cross Public Hall, when the well- known comedy by Mr. Palgrave Simpson, A ScrapofPaper , was performed before a very large and enthusiastic audience. The male characters were all taken by members of the club, Mr. S. G. C. Starky as the Indian officer, “ Colonel Blake,” showing very considerable power as au actor. The lady friends who kindly assisted were Mrs. Archie Keen (who fairly brought down the house as “ Susan Hartley ” ), the Misses Cutler, Mrs. Newton Phillips, Miss London, and Miss Ledger. The other cricketers who took part were Messrs. A. R. Layman, F. M. Gill, A. Hersee, and B .F . Gordon. An amateur band under the able direction of Dr. Henry Green performed during the evening. Amongst the musicians was Mr. 0. J. M. Godfrey, a prominent member of the club, and he proved he could play the cornet besides being able to bowl and bat. The arrangements of the evening were carried out under the direction of the Hon. Sec. (Mr. R. F. Taylor) and his Stewards. We understand that the Committee has further increased its Match Card for next season, as, besides the usual Sussex Tour, arrangements are being made for a Home Week commencing on Bank Holiday in August, the season’s programme representing the large total of 70 contests. * CURIOSITIES OF 1891.
