Nicholas Press. Rehearsals for Cayman Drama Society's latest production of "Chase Me Comrade" came to an abrupt halt last night, as the picture accompanying this story illustrates. It has taken the British Police Constabulary only four weeks to uncover the fact that someone in Cayman's midst has been concealing a Russian male ballet dancer.

Everyone, that is, except P.C. Pulford (shown right) -- the scourge of undercover left-wing orgnisations and international vice rings throughout the world, flown in especially to apprehend this heinous villain.

Yes, as the picture indicates it is indeed the former chairman of the Cayman Drama Society, the DRAMA WORLD SHOCKED Not surprisingly, news of Nick's more clandestine activities came as a shock to actors and actresses throughout the world.
Commented Sir Lawrence Olivier from his London flat, "Oh!" "Not my Nick," said his Mum.
