Stansfield Herald R.H. Robson Aigisthos H.R. Smith Cassandra Mrs Unwin Cytemnestra [sic] Eliot Wallis instead of Miss B.S. Agamemnon E.E. Unwin For the ordinary member some introduction & description of the Greek Drama would have added to the interest of the evening. Probably those who were reading enjoyed it more than those who had to listen.'
