The Theatre Royal presented a brilliant

appearance last night when Mr J. M. Barrie's four-not play "The Admirable Crichton" was presented by the Bandasan Comedy Company. The dress chole was crowded and the audience was a highly fashionable one. His Excellency Sir Mat thew Nathan was present, accompanied by. the Duke and Duchess of Manchester, Mrs Vaughan Leo, Mr D. G. Campbell (British Resident at Negri Sambilan), Mr W. D. Barnes (Secretary of Chinese Affairs in the Straits Settlements and the Fedorated Malay States), Mir Nathaniel Nathan, Captain Coleman, A.D.C., and Mr R. A. B. Ponsonby, The play deals with, the posi tions of employer and employee, more particularly with regard to domestic service, the present conditions soling in civilised countries being contrasted with what would obtain were the conditions suddenly altered and each one had to do battle for himself.
