 == [[Aurora III]], Cape Town (1909-1914)==
-A new [[Aurora]] was established in 1909 as the theatre-division of the [[Algemeen Nederlandsch Verbond]] ([[A.N.V.]]), a  cultural association in Cape Town situated in Queen Victoria Street. This was probably done in association with  members of the - by then defunct - former [[Rederijkerskamer]] (oratory-club) ([[Aurora II]]).  It was led by [[Melt Brink]] as chair, with [[P. Koster]] as vice-chair, [[Gerrit van Heerde]] as secretary, and ordinary members [[Olga van Oordt]] and [[Cath. Doyer]].
+It would appear that there was an initial attempt in 1901 to revive [[Aurora]] under the Cape Town branch of the [[Algemeen Nederlandsch Verbond]] ([[A.N.V.]] (1901-1903), a  cultural association in Cape Town situated in Queen Victoria Street. The committee was chaired by Melt J. Brink]], with Gerrit van Heerde as secretary. However no trace of performances could be found.
 Besides the executive members, the permanent amateur performers for the company also included [[Mr Wartema]], [[Mrs Wartema]], [[J.E. de Villiers]], [[E.H. Lucouw]], [[A.E.F. Lucouw]], [[W. Kuperus]], [[C.G.G. Cuchet]], [[A. Kromberg]], [[D. de Groot]], [[Mrs Van Venlo]], [[Mr Daleboudt]], [[R. van Gelderen]], [[J.W. van Lint]], [[J.A.G. Bremer]], [[J.P. Feenstra]] and [[J.H. Moll]].

+The new company lasted till 1914, though there are only records of performances for the years 1909-1912. The year 1913 saw no performances recorded in the annual report and, though there were plans to renew performance activity in 1914. However, circumstances caused the company to suddenly announce a halt in productions shortly after their meeting of 14 March, 1914. Nothing is heard of  [[Aurora]] or the theatre division after that, though the [[ANV]] continued to  exist well into the 1980s.
