'A Point of Etiquette'

A Comedy of the Yukon

(Robert H. Blackmore)

Monday 17 December 1928 Cardiff 9.35-11
Gold Diggers

Kate Brown - Cathleen Sutton
Jake - Jacque Thomas
Pete - Lyndon Harries

Etiquette is not usually in evidence in mining shacks in Klondyke, but jake, an elderly gold miner, once read a book on the subject, and he forces his young companion, Pete, to accept its rulings. The matter concerns their hostess, Kate Brown, who keeps them both in a state of subjection; she even threatens to act as amateur dentist when one of them pretends he has toothache to explain away his dejection. Frayed nerves are partly due to the long winter and the impossibility of getting down the river, but with the breaking-up of the ice developments come.
