Reverting to the matter-of-fact business affairs of the immediate future, Mr. Twinning said the company would open here this day week, in "Forget-me-not," and would follow with "Francion" on Friday, Zola's "Théièm Raquis" on Saturday, and In Society" on Monday. That comprises all the present season in Hongkong. The complete repertoire is remarkably extensive-Romeo and Juliet, As You like It, Merchant of Venice, Hamlet, Macbeth, Theodora, The Ironmaster, Franclilon, Thérèse Raquin, E Torca, Lady of Lyons, David Garrick, Frou Froo, She stoops to Corquer, School for scandal, Camille, Adrienne Lecouvreur, Charlotte Corday, In Society, and last but not least Forget-me-not.
