Town Hall, Petersfield

‘The performance of “A Kiss for Cinderella” by the girls of the Petersfield County High School in the Town Hall can well be regarded as the town’s tribute to the memory of the late Sir James M. Barrie, the famous playwright. This play was presented to a large audience, and the 22 members of the cast were all girls of the school. Particularly memorable was the delightful acting of M. Hayward who played the title role of Cinderella - one of the best pieces of amateur acting for a girl of her age seen in Petersfield’. Hampshire Telegraph, Friday 30 July 1937. The date shown is conjectural (the newspaper was published weekly on a Friday).
