AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Under the auspices of J. and N. Tait, a search was instituted some months ago for an Australian playwright, whose work would be worthy of production in the capital cities. To-day the judges came to a unanimous decision, after reading 107 plays which came from entrants in all States.

'The winner was Katherine [sic] Susannah Prichard, of Greenmount, Western Australia. Under the pen name of Meroo, Miss Prichard entered a three-act drama entitled Brumby Innes. According to Gregan M'Mahon, who probably will be its producer, Brumby Innes is comparable with the best work of Eugene O'Neill, the greatest of all present-day American dramatists.'
