The second half opened with a fine piece of scenery work comprising a boat on a moving base with a projected 'sky' background. This was very attractive and typical of the way in which the spacious and well-equipped school stage was used. For the past three years, the town's Grammar School had been used for the production but in order to accommodate 85 members of the Gang a larger stage was required. So Thursday night was the first time Sackville had housed a Gang Show. Because the Gang prefer to be known as such, it is not possible to single out individual performances which is perhaps a pity as several deserved mention. I am sure Mr. Albert Lee, the Assistant County Commissioner for the North-east Area of Sussex would agree with me for he was among the audience. The show ran for three' days.
