"THE SECOND MRS. TANQUERAY"
Canton, Apr. 28. "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray" was presented by the Canton Amateur Theatrical Society yester; day evening in The Canton Club Theatre. The test was na follows: Frank Misquith, Roland Farmer; Gordon
John Wright:| Jayne. Aubrey Tanqueray, Fergus Johns ton: Cayley Drummle, Gordon Eales: Paula, Gertrude Phillips; Elal
alne, Dorothy Johnston: Mr. Cortelyon, Elizabeth Hack: Lady Orreyed, Yvonne Phillips; Str George Orreyed, Robert Long- worth: Capt. Iugh Ardaie. Adrian Ilope.
The producer was Mr. M. W. Finlay Anderson, the sluge man- ager, Mr. I. F. Newman, and the prompter, Mrs. J. Linaker.
Unfortunately there was not such a large audience as had been hoped, though it is expected that there will be a full house to-night whon it will be staged again.
Gertrude Phillips, as the lead, played what is an extremely dif ficult part to portray, on an amateur stage, very creditably, though owing possibly to nervous Reas she did not quite work up sufficiently to her final exit. How over, it is expected that she will really do herself justice as a really talented actress to-night when she is playing to a full house. Fergus Johnston, who takes the part of the husband, handled very well what was possibly not a part quite suit- ed to him, for his reputation as an actor in other parts of China is for comedy rather than for tragedy, He was inclined to be slightly too stift. Gordon Eales rained the usual laughs at the right time. Yeonne Phillips unme quite up to expectations, since she had studied dramatle art in England before coming out East.
