The programme on the left is taken from a folded foolscap sheet, typed in fading text, which has been thoughtfully saved in an envelope labelled "Playbill", glued in to a large black album with the inscription "M. G. S. Dramatic Society". The photos below are from the same album, all mounted with four corner mounts on black pages, all printed by Massers of Malton, and all 5 x 3 inches.
There does not appear to have been any plays in 1952, this being the first since the December 1951 production of St. Joan. It was presented in January 1953.
