A CHAT WITH MR.
DENNISTON,N-
The drst theatrical" touring Company to be registered in Hongkong is the Denniston Players, Limited. In a conversa- tion with Mr. Roynolds Dennia ton yesterday, he told us that although registered in Hongkong under ibe Hongkong Ordinance, the Directors were all Shanghai merchants: The Company is going from here to Singapore, India. and probably on to Egypt, and thea work its way back to the United States via Yakobama, Hongkong. Shanghai and other Far Eastern ports. Mr. Danois- on said he engaged Miss Warda Howard, M£F. Lao Kennedy and eight other members of the Company in New York. Mr. Wy- keham and. Miss Preston jour- deyed from Australia to join the organisation and the remain- ing members of the Compsoy joined in San Francisco. Continaing, he said The results of my Far Eastern tour have been very gratifying to me, and wher
wo have played we have evd warm receptions. We gy analy broken a number of

Up till recently
the only thing that has risen in these parts is the cost of one's amusement. Surely the thinking public must have fore- seen for some time that eventually it had to come. In talking with! the many business men whom 1 know in Hongkong and in other places we have visited I have found them all very reasonably minded on the matter."

Mr. Denniston, in further con- versation, said: "The Denniston Players Limited, is a permaneat institution for catering to the Amusement of the public in the Far East and elsewhere. We shall branch out in a much larger way, possibly having two or three touring companies operating. We have nothing to do with pictures. China is a good held. In China the audience likes good comedies and dramas, while muscial con- edies are a craze as well. A good company in this part of the world cannot fail. There is one thing that I must admit. The public here and in Shang- hai are very critical, and they! will not stand anything that is not up-to-date and good. I opened out a new field in Han- kow, and got a wonderful recept- ion there. For six nights, with snow two or three inches deep, we packed the Victoria Theatr,
