Evidence:
'The rest of the evening was devoted to a reading of 'The Winter's Tale'. The production was under the joint management of Mrs Robson & R.B. Graham. The play had been 'cut' to bring it within the compass of the time at our disposal and the cast was so arranged that most members took some part. Where all were so good it would be invidious to mention names. Suffice it to say that all felt the evening to have been a good one and the result of the evening was two fold: a new or renewed acquaintance with the genius of Shakespeare and a sense of fellowship induced by the collective contributions of a large number of members'.
