Apropos of the approach of the New Year, with its deafening and continuous explosion of orackers and tha beating of gongs, I have thought that it may disposs the Westerner to think charitably of the noise if I ruution that an American physician, whose observations appear in a paper called the Medical Brief, holds that noise has an excellent effect in a great many cases of illness, He says that a patient of his was ones at the point of death.

HIS EXCELLENCY"
TES ADO. AT THE THEATRE.
THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS. MONDAY, FEBRUARY 15TH, 194
On Saturday night at the Theatre Royal the Hongkong Amatear Dramatic Club gave the comic opera by Mesers. W. 8. Gilbert and first of four performances of His Excellency, the Osmund Carr. This is the piers which, it wil be remembered, was to have been played thres years ago, but, owing to the death of the late Queen Victoria wan suver played in Hongkong. The A. D. C. suffered a heary pecuniary loss then, owing to the fact that all the costumes hal been purchased and the other necessary Errangements made. It is to be hoped, therefor, that the present stort ran will be more then nauslly remunerative, so as to make up to the A. D. C. for the previous disappointment. If the house on Saturday aight is any fader, the Club's coffers should be well filled. Certainly a most favourable impression was made by the first orformanes, and we have no doubt a large number of theso present will pay a second visit at lost. Those who were not in the Theatre on the fire night may assuredly be silviend to go at the earliest opportunity if they have not booked sal yet. The Hoogkong..C, is noted for its conscientions renderings of the plays which it atempta, and it is a mere Battery to say in the present case that all the netors and notresses worked loyally, and well, und that the performance compared favourably with any comic opere which has been senu høre of late years. His Excellency is sot the best of Mr. Gilbert's librettes, but it is distinctly aansing. and D. and Carr's music is tuneful throngboat, The play demands a large cast,
and it is more tunu creditable to the Colony to
be able to find so many capable exponents, both of acting and of singing. A grout misfortune befalt the A.D.C. just before the opening night. Mrs, E. W. Mitchell, a lady who was to have filled the most responsible female part, being compelled by illness in her family to abandon it. No anitable substitute could be found until a naval gentleman was prevailed upon to under. take the character at the shortest netice. Al the dress rehearsal Mr. Phillips read from the book; on Saturday night he played the śle admirably. Certainly the name of "handy man" is well deserved by him. If his ship is not ordered north, he should be word-perfect on the second night-next Thursday-and-that is all that is required to make his performance first class,
