WILBUR PLAYERS.
COMING TO HONGKONG.
The Wilbur Playors, one of America's most notable theatrical organisations, And the most famous dramatic company on the Pacific Coast, is to come to the Star theatre for a short engago-. ment, beginning April 12th. This Company was forced to cancel its Shanghai engagement, where it was booked for one month at the Embassy Theatre, due to the un-" Bottled state of affairs.
After two solid years at the Casino Theatre in San Francisco- and 64 weeks of continuous play- ing In Honolulu, the Company is regarded as one of the most thoroughly balanced and smoothly playing groups of players ever ro leave the United States for an Oriental tour. The Wilbur Players como, to Hongkong with every play in their repertoire com-- pletely rehearsed. They are as thoroughly up in their parts" as the test dramatic con.pany playing the biggest theatres in New York.
The group of plays comprising: the Company's repertoire were chosen especially for American and European audiences "far from home," and since the plays were received with such enthusiasm in Honolulu, it is believed they will morit the so.ne hearty approval in cities beyond the Pacific.
Among some of the plays will [be "Rain," "Abie's Irish Rose,
"The Rosary," "Do Foolish Wives Pay?" "The Whole Town's Talk- ing," "Cappy Ricks," "The High Cost of Loving," Spooks," "Alias the Deacon," The Family Men Leave
