It was a very successful open Club for the following further re ing of their present season inlts of the Shanghai Race Club's Hongkong that the Frawley Autumn meeting: Company made at the Theatre Royal last evening. Hongkong is now well acquainted with the worth of the companies that Mr. T. Daniel Frawley brings with him on his tours, and it was only in the natural order of things that the Theatre last evening should have been full. And it was peopled with an audience that very frequently showed its appreciation of the artistic handl. ing of Austin Strong's comedy
Three Wise Fools."
The three wise fools, a doctor, a financier. and a judge. are shown living ૧ very
quiet humdrum life, performing settled habits with deadly precision, The doctor is a bit of a philosopher also, for he discovers that he and his two friends form part of the great company of the living dead
men who are buried in ruts, men who want galvanising into' the enthusiasm that he says life should have for them. His ideas But are not kindly "received. then comes the thing that rouses them all. The daughter of the woman that all three men had loved years ago is willed to them. and, in memory of the past, they take her into their home, become much more excited and alive, and lavish upon the young woman all that their riches "can give her. But They are out of the rut. then things take a sudden turn. A man whom the judge sentenced for a long term has declared his intention of getting even and eventually he breaks into the house. He meets the girl and there is recognition. He declares his intention of shooting the judge, but to save her benefactor. she blows a police whistle." No sooner has she done so than she is all for saving the criminal from being arrested. There is some- thing other people must not know, so she helps the man to escape by a skylight. Detectives arrive and make search and the girl comes under suspicion. BY & clever ruse the judge finds that she helped the man, and down tumbles all the three old men's hopes of happiness that the advent of the girl had brought. There are some tense situations, but eventually the whole thing is made clear. The girl was only seeking to shield her father whe had broken prison with the enani nal, and the father, too. is proved- ärst chang innocent of the upon which he was sentenced. The nephew of the the financier, who has been very largely in the picture all through, provides a wealthy future husband for the heroine.
The god of the piar is novel! and the story has been written and hailed with considerable ability. Pasaga of very human humour abound and the dramatic portions are never too heavy. In the matter of portrayal the Company performed in a manner which can only be spoken of in terms of praise. Miss Beatrice Prentice, as the daughter who comes to the old men. displayed
