-In 1919 the society came under leadership of [[Eric Moortens]] (Maartens?*) and took on the English name [[GUK Dramatic Society]]. The main aim was ostensibly to promote [[Afrikaans]] and English theatre, but a real purpose proved to be the recruiting of students for the almost insolvent College at the time. Their first production (1920) was ''[[Die Koerantskrywers]]'' ("The Newspaper Reporters" by Gustav Freitag, translated by [[J.F.W. Grosskopf]]), which toured through the Orange Free State and the Transvaal accompanied by a 9-member  orchestra. In 1929 members like [[D.F. Malherbe]], [[Benedictus Kok]], [[Bram Fischer]], [[Bailey Bekker]] and [[P.J. Meyer]] appeared in plays such as ''[[Meester]]'' (by [[D.F. Malherbe]]), ''[[As die Tuig Skawe]]'' ([[J.F.W. Grosskopf]]) en ''[[Die Swart Kat]]'' (D.C. Postma) under the guidance of H. van der Merwe-Scholz, again touring the province.
