They managed to get the rights to ''[[Oorskotjie]]'' (''[[Scampolo]]'' by Dario Niccodemi) from [[African Theatres]] and toured the play - with Wena Naudé in the lead - throughout the country, to the smallest towns from April till November 1928. In 1929 they did ''[[Onskuldig Veroordeel]]'' (lit "Innocently Sentenced"), said to be by one "Bayard Veiller", which was also a great box-office success. In May 1929 [[Siegfried Mynhardt]] joined the company for the tour and in 1930 [[James Norval]]. In 1930 followed ''[[Die Uur van Vergelding]]'' (1930).
