Show of Shows

Junior members of the National Party, assisted by local artists, presented their "Show of Shows" entertainment in the Opera House recently in aid of funds for the Heni Materoa Home and the Crippled Children's Society.

The show, directed by Esme Tombleson, was a bright and breezy revue which pleased with its variety and talent.
