THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH.- TUESDAY: MARCH 16, 1920.
MARIE TEMPEST.
ARRIVAL IN HONGKONG.
Miss Marie Tempest, the celebrated English actress, arrived from Singapore to-day and is staying at the Hongkong Hotel. Miss Tempest makes her initial, bow to a Hongkong audience on Thursday at the Theatr Royal. A wonderful repertoire of the most famous English plays of recent years is down for production, opening with W. Somerset
Maugham's great "Penelope," followed
Succetely by The Marriage
of Kitty," the leading character of which was created by Miss Tempest. These splendid comed- ies will be followed in this order by "The Duke of Killiecrankie," "Cousin Kate,” (one of the finest Woman characters of the present-day dramatists, which Miss Tempest presents with extraordinary charm and skill) and "Outcast, which shows us Miss Tempest as an emotional actress of the highest calibre and always comes as a surprise after seeing her in comedy. Outcast" will be followed by "Mrs. Dot." (perhaps the most successful of all Miss Tempest's creations), a play which Miss Tempest made famous in 1910-11 and which enjoyed a very long run in London. "At The Barn shows us another) phase of Miss Tempest's brilliant talent.
