THE SALISBURY PLAYERS.
"ME, CINDERS" AS THE LAST OFFERING.
Playgoers in the Colony are to have the opportunity of seeing still another recent London musical comedy on Sunday night, when the Salisbury Company will present, for this one night only, the famous success "Mr. Cinders.".
"Mr. Cinders" has tuneful music, witty lyrics, excellent dancing, and, wonder of wonders, a plot that is never lost sight of for a moment.
The costumes in this show are most elaborate, and the Company have been most successful with it everywhere.

"Infatuation" at the Majestic..
if you were not the average hus- band you would probably react in the same manner as does Sir Ar- thur Little, the hero of the stage play, "Caesar's Wife," which, under the title of "Infatuation", starring Corinne Griffith is now showing at the Majestic Theatre, Kowloon. In this picture the husband does not. divorce the wife upon learning that she is in love with another man: On the contrary, he informs her politely, but firmly, that he means to take no notice whatever of her extra marital affairs, and that as far as he is concerned she is still as faithful to him as she was at the moment she took her nuptial vows. Frankly speaking, he is too busy with mattera of great import- ance to be seriously troubled by what he chooses to think is a pase- ing felble.
