A purr-fect performance

HCLE 00625tile

Nighty-six years ago, 50 performers from the St Peter’s Girl Guides performed the bright and sparkling operetta, 'Dick Whittington and His Cat’. This performance was held at the Town Hall on 17 July, 1926. According to the flier, the performance was requested by those who were unable to attend a previous performance in June which was sold out. Following the second performance presentations were made to the pianist Mrs McNicol and conductor Mr Lucas and the girls were praised for their performance as they had never performed for the public before. Proceeds from both performances were in aid of camp funds for girl guides in Hamilton, Frankton and Claudelands.
