In 1935 however they seem to have formally assumed the name [[Die Hanekom Geselskap]] (or [[Die Hanekoms se Geselskap]])  to go on tour with [[D.C. Postma]]'s  ''[[Oom Paul]]'' till mid 1938. The performances were alternated with lighter fare (usually German farces or comedies in Afrikaans).  The company started out in partnership with [[Elsa Fouché]] and [[Willie Beckmann]], but after a few performances Fouche and Beckmann married and began their own company, to be replaced by [[Berdine Grünewald]] and  [[Jaques Lochner]]. However, the Hanekom company was relatively stable and boasted a number of other loyal and competent players, such as [[Irma du Plessis]] and [[Tonius Ferreira]].
