Songsters to Produce Musical Comedy
Are 8elected In Open
Competition.
Tho cast for the Kosmet Klub's
annual production has Anally been se
lected Owing to the large number of
contestants the Judges have had dif
ficulty in coming to definite decision
on the person fitted to the part. In
the partB which require both singing
and acting, the competition was slight,
in fact, difficulty whh experienced in
tilling them suitably. In the parts re
quiring only acting or only singing the
competition was decidedly keen, there
being about 80 contestants for 20
:arts
The Klub wishes to thank all who
took the time and trouble to enter the
competition and to say to those to
whom parts were not allotted that
the appointments were not made upon
dramatic ability alone, but upon the
combination of dramatic ability, pliy-
sj(.ai and temperamental fitness for
the part in question The play chosen
