Warm approbation was earned by the Company for its admirable pre sentation of this delightfully finished comedy, M: Thorpe-Mayre made a distinctive success of Richard Carewe, and Messrs. Frank Wheatley and Dudley Howarth were characteristic as the other two guardians: Mr. Tom Fenwick gave a very capable rendering of the role of the Imp. Miss Joan Mayneexcelled herself in a charm- ing portrayal of the roguish daughter, while Miss Lena Flowerdew made a charming elderly matron. A spirited, impersonation of the vulgar actress was given by Miss Beatrix Wynn, and no little amusement was caused by Miss Muriel Aked as her acidulous dresser. The little done by Mr. Lionel Williams as the returned lover, and Miss Marjory: Clark, as a maid, was done well

To-night there should be a large house to witness "Eliza Caines to Stay" an excellent comedy slso from the Criterion Theatre:

The history of the sugar business in Japan is an interesting study in protected industry. The cane is grown is Formosa. The farmers, being only a sort of Chinamen, are compelled to grow it and the price is fired for them. By means of a heavy. import duty, foreign sugar can be kept out so that the Japanese product can be made to pay a profit, and the excess is sold in China under cost price. During and immediately after the war, the sugar companies paid enormous dividends. They could not help it But now they have lost heart. They see before them the spectre of foreign competition. With all the advantages they enjoy in the supply of cane, their costs of produc tion are too high for it to be possible for them to compete except in a protected market. So they propose that the Government buy them out by an issue of bonds for Y450,000,000, and make a Sugar Monopoly. This means the relinquishment of any hope, of an export trade, and the taxation of every child who eats a candy to as to keep in being an Industry, in which those interested have proved their incompetence, says the Japan Chronicle.
