Mr. DENIS FREEMAN and his SUSSEX PLAYERS
THE old traditional Mummers Ploy, of whiah modern Christmas carol-singing is only a pathetic survival, still nourishes in certain parts of the English countryside, notably in Sussex. Mr. Denis Freeman runs a theatre there. in an old barn built out of Armada wreckage. and in it the local people act their traditional plays. This evening he- is bringing a company of them up to the Studio, where they will give a programme of genuine, native, unadulterated old English carols and mumming plays, as they are performed on frosty evenings, when the ' Sussex moon, untravelled still,' looks down on the wide spaces of the Downs.

Major Tosswill has a long and wide experience of good-class Rugby, and his forecast should prove very interesting to followers of the game.
