Having picked from the ninety-two contestants thirty- five who seemed possessed of histrionic abilities above their comrades, the six founders, namely Frances Tyson, Marjorie Morris, Anna Brinton, Molly Baily, Emma Dorr and Kate Jayne called the first meeting and discussed plans.

We asked Miss Laws to write and ask him and he accepted, though some- what reluctantly. We had our first rehearsal the eighth of January, and then work began in good earnest, for a harder task-master it would have been difficult to find, and a more
