The Society wishes to express its thanks to Miss Ruth Thorpe for so delightfully reviewing our productions in the Maltonian.

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". There is also a 6-page printed programme available. 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 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches.
