give
pleasing performance
(By "ARC")
The Garrison Players have come to be known among the theatre-going community in Hong Kong as a most efficient dramatic group as far as stage entertainment is concerned. Their awareness of the. limitations of amateur
talent, coupled with a policy of entertainment: first, have been responsible for many a meritorious effort.
"Arsenic and Old Lace," "Ten Little Niggers" were two very creditable presentations. Now the Players are giving in their usual pleasing manner, "Suspect" (by Edward Percy and Reginald Denham), three-act thriller that ranks favourably with anything thes
script calls for high drame,
Her hysterical and maniacal hacking at the cherry tree with the axe in the chilling climax of the play, lacked emotional verve at the first night performance.
Brian O'Connell as Sir Hugo develops an easy, analytical air comparatively for his part but his role was Denis Stenhouse, as Dr. Rendle an costerone.
have done.
mistimed his drama a number of Doubtless inspired by the sen-times but was otherwise auf- sational trial of Lizzie Borden, cient. the play "Suspect" retains much of the gruesome aspects of the crime which shocked the world at the time,
In a senside setting at Polcurn, Cornwall, the drama of "Suspect" unfolds.
Sir Hugo Const, a crime repor- ter in his younger and less nobler days, suspects that Mrs. Smith, the dour Scots woman in whose house he is a paying guest, is the former Miss Margaret Somebody, who 30 years before had been tried for the brutal axo-hacking of her parents in Scotland. At the trial, the former reporter ux- plains, the evidence (which he, of course doubted) given by her housemaid, Goudie, hod saved the repressed, maniacal mur- deress. The jury said "not gulity": and Margaret passed' out of the headlines into a life of annony- mity. She marries and has a son. Her husband dies Ka natural death). When the curtain rises on the Brst act of "Suspect", Mrs. Smith and her son Robert are hosts to Rendle and his daughter Janet whom Robert is going to marry. Sir Hugo unfortunately, is also a guest,
A characteristic nervous jerk of the head by Mrs. Smith, brings back memories of 30 years ago. He also recognised the face of Goudie, the housemaid. As the drama and suspense develop, the point is reached when Sir Hugo sees it his duty. lo' acquaint Ren- dle (whose daughter will
be marrying an insane murderess son) of what he suspects. Mrs. Smith is told that both Rendle and Sir Hugo know her story. The channel by which the plot of the play is brought to an ond is Interesting.
Thrilling suspensa
The production by E. Hodgetts retains much of the thrilling sus- pease called for by the script. Ho is apt, however, to barter realism for elocution. He makes some of his players pronounce their words
Others in the play included Elspeth Chute as the faithful Goudle, Molly Bird and Brycoj Ramsden, the young lovers who, in their bilss, are oblivious to the evil about them: Peter Bird and Harriet Jenkins (you will re- member her as the mald whol made good in "George and Mar- garet").
"Suspect" will be repeated for another two performances at the Mission to Seamen Theatre to- morrow and on Sunday.
