Sold entertainment, marked by some delightful musical hits, vis dispensed in abundance in C. E. Cochrane's revue "One Dam Thing After Another," which the Quaints staged at the Theatre Royal last night.
The revue is one long series of inimitable turns, essentially light but interestingly in nature, varied; and packed with real entertainment value. There is much colourful music, and the presentation earned the approba- tion of the audience as only a popular production from Home could.
The whole company, from chorus to principals, acquitted themselves in great style. Clever footwork and tuneful melodies these mark the production from start to finish. The continued success of "One Dam Thing After Another" is assured for the re-
mainder of the week.
That story, as I had pointed out to Lady Merafield, was fatal. Mrs. Ponsonby-Fernside's version of it hardly differed from her own, except in intention.
She described a whispered con- versation between Overbury and Lady Merafield in the hall, and mysterious glances as they went up the stairs.. Of course, all this FRENCH IMPORTS AND was brought out as if reluctantly
