It may, of course, be that she bas slipped from a perch, where the rested on a practically oven keel, into deeper water. No par- tion of her masts or upper works is now visible.

The play is one of the moet by Shaw, entertaining written abounding as it does in witticians at the expense of the medical pro- fession, newspapermen and "old fashioned" conceptions of morali- ty. Not for one moment through-
does one's interest elacken. And it cannot be too plainly stated that the Macdona Players perform this difcult play in excellent manner. Their stay in Hongkong has been accompanied by many expressións of appreciation of the first-class thentre fare they have given us, and it only remains to be anid that last night's presentation was fully up to the high standard we have grown to expect. There should have been a larger audience.
This evening the Players are giving "You Never Can Tell" and they are bringing their season to a close to-morrow night with the greatest of all Shaw's plays:-- "Man and Superman."
