On Thursday night, March 10, the Winton Dramatic Club, under the auspices of the Betterment Association, will present the comedy “Green Stockings.” For some time rehearsals have been going forward under the direction of Mrs. J.N. Clark and the cast has been working hard to make the performance a big success. “Green Stockings” is a light domestic comedy, of English life with good plot and clever lines. The play centers about the character of Celia, who when the action opens, is on the very point of having to don green stockings for the third time, according to a custom which dictates that an elder sister must wear them whenever a younger is married. The marriage of the last youngest of Celia’s sisters is hanging fire because the old man still has Celia on his hands.
To simplify the situation, Celia invents herself a lover, Colonel Smith, who is fighting in Somaliland, and the complications which ensue from her attempts to sustain the fancy, and to stimulate grief when the Colonel is happily “killed” are highly amusing.
But to conclude the plot naturally, Colonel Smith form Somaliland actually appears in the flesh, having been drawn by a letter which Celia had mailed to the supposedly fictitious lover, and he and Celia are eventually married.
Miss Louise Vann plays the part of Celia excellently and is well supported by the other members of the cast. Any audience will get two hours of genuine amusement from the players production of the comedy on March 10.
