BUCKLEY AMATEUR PANTOMIME COMPANY,

Chairman, W. HANNABY, Esq

Hon.Sec. H. F. Beavan

Hon. Treas. T. N. Cropper

Ladies and Gentlemen,

The Pantomime Committee take this opportunity of thanking one and all for the support accorded to the various efforts promoted during the past year and for your attendance at this year's Pantomime.

By the various efforts, sufficient funds, it is hoped, have been raised to stage the show and to ensure that the whole of our share of the proceeds shall go to charity. We hope that this amount will again constitute a record.

Added local interest must undoubtedly be assured by the fact that this year's Pantomime 'ALADDIN' has been written by our Producer & Musical Director, -

Mr DENNIS GRIFFITHS.

In the words of Barnum of Circus fame, it is 'bigger and better than ever.' Might we ask that, having seen the performance, you tell your friends, so that they may not leave it too late.

Thanking you,

For and on behalf of the Committee,

H. F. BEAVAN, Hon. Sec.
