PROSPECTS AT HOME

London, Yesterday. The South African Cricket team have arrived, all being fit and well, and delighted at the prospects of

the tour.

Deane, the Captain, in an inter- view, pointed out that it was South Africa's first turf wicket team. Не was certain that once they settled down to conditions in England, which were absolutely foreign to the average South African, they would give a good account of them-1 solves.

The manager, Frielinghaus, em- phasised the youthfulness of the Leam, their keenness, and the fact that they were good triera.-Reu-

Somersets' Victory Over South China

South China, who have held a good position in the League throughout the season, have con- ceded champiorship honours as the result of a defeat by the Somerset L.I. yesterday.

The game, which was played at Caroline Hill, was

very even. However, the defence of both elevens predominated in the first half, South China being the first to succumb early in the second period. Butcher scored the goal that gave the Somerseta the victory.

In the twenty games. South China have played, twelve were won, two drawn, and six lost, the points obtained being 26, China Athletic, who are only two points behind the leaders. have a match

McEachran and Goldman had figured in that competition, he thought they could congratulate them very heartily on the game they had put up.

The Open Singles challenge cap had been won by Mr. W. M. Lo, For the past ten years Mr. Lo had been a very keen competitor and had appeared in the final on three occasions. This year he had been playing 15 better than before and he thoroughly deserved tory.

And when one does not respond to "fore" in Quebec one' is quite

apt to unconsciously play the part of Mr. Tell's Hittle boy with less fortunate resulta. This is Indian golf, played on skis or snowshoes when one has exhausted all the other sport possibilities which the snow and ice and fair climate, of Quebec afford.

Mr. Bardy Russell has also taken his own company overseas and had a most successful season in South Africa. He took the Ralph Lynn roles in all the Aldwych farces.

A Former Soldier Mr. C. Heston Grey is a Royal command artist. He has had a varied experience, having been a soldier, journalist and actor. He commanded a company through the Cameroons campaign, German West Africa, and was afterwards a staff captain, No. I Group, R. A. F. As a journalist and playwright he com- menced scribbling as early as 1900. He for years collaborated with the late Mr. Cecil Raleigh of Drury Lane fare, his short stories, Tales of the Bush" running in "Cassell's 'Magazine." He was for some years associated with the Drury Lane Dramas, and was understudy to Sir Charles Hawtrey and played his parts in "The Man from Blankley's,"

Mr. Ormiston Miller was for some time with the Southend Re- pertoire Company, played for some months with Mrs. Patrick Campbell and was with the London Company which produced the "Fanatics" and in this he scored a great success.

Mr. Thomas Sleigh appeared in London in such musical comedies as "Stop Flirting" and "Tip Toes" and has also played in Farce.

Mr. C. V. Wallace bas taken part in several farces. "Cuckoo in the Nest", "Thark," "The Rookery Nook" at the Aldwych, when they were first presented there, and knows the Aldwych farce business inside out,

Mr. Reginald Tippen was for some time with Sir John Martin Harvey playing in such pieces as "The Only Way" and "The Burgomaster".

M. Eric Elliot has just joined the company following on a suc- cessful Australian tour with Misa Margaret Bannerman, taking a good part in "Other Men's Wives."

It is certain from this that we have a good opportunity of seeing a really experienced company pro- ducing some really modern and suc cessful comedies. It will not be the Company's fault if the Star Theatre is not full each night, and that on the return journey the de mand for seats again ex eds the supply.

“THE LOVELORN ”.

BASED ON BEATRICE FAIR- FAX'S ADVICE COLUMN

TO-DAY AT QUEEN'S ·

Sally O'Neil and a splendid sup- porting cast are responsible for some extremely fine acting in a new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer pic- ture, "The Lovelorn," which will be shown to-day and to-morrow at the Queen's Theatre. It is based on Beatrice Fairfax's famous newspaper advice column.

""The Lovelorn" is the story of two shop girls in a big city who love wildly, play fiercely and flirt vivaciously. Both girls love the same man and it is their sense of fairness to each other and the desire of each to sacrifice her own happiness for her sister that transforms the tale into one of the most interesting pictures of the acason.

Others in the cast include Molly O'Day, Allan Forrest, Larry Kent, Charles Delaney, James Murray and George Cooper.
