Scope and Content

This letter, dated April 30, 1930, was sent to Robert I. C. Picard, then president of The Westmount Thespians, by John Macpherson Almond, Rector of Trinity Memorial Church (an Anglican church in Montreal's Notre-Dame-de-Grâce borough). Reverend Almond notes the precarious situation facing amateur theatre troupes and repeats the suggestion made by D. M. Leggatt, of The Montreal Star newspaper, that these various groups be combined into a single association. Almond then proposes to organize such a meeting at Trinity Memorial Hall on May 8 to discuss this option.
