MR. DANIEL FRAWLEY

INTERVIEWED.

Interviewed on the subject of starting performances at the theatre at 8.30 pz., Mr. D. Fraw ley expressed himself as willing to meet the demands of the public in every way possible. When the suggestion was made to him by a representative of the North China Daily News Mr. Frawley first replied that the public would not attend the theatre at that hour. The usual dining hour here. he pointed out, was between 7.30 and 8.30 and it would mean that those who wished to attend the theatre would have to order their dinners especially early. and this, he thought, they were not likely to do.

From the acting point of view Mr. Frawley could think of no obstacles. It was true that the company would have to dine earlier than hitherto, but arrange- ments could be made as regarded that while the change would have the added benefit that the actors and actresses would finish some- what earlier.

Mr. Frawley pointed out that there was much to be said for commencing at 8.30 or 8.45, par- ticularly in the case of long plays such as Turn to the Right," etc. In that case though the curtain was raised at 9.15 p.m. prompt, the play would not end until shortly after midnight. It was one of those cases where the in- novation would be greatly appreciated.

It was pointed out to Mr. Fraw- ley that the A.D.C. when playing "The Gondoliers raised the curtain promptly at 8.45 p.m. with success and to this the actor- manager replied that he thought it hardly a fair test, for the pub- lic would do for an amateur show, where there were friends on the other side of the footlights, what they would not do for the profes sional actor.

On the other hand, while still waiting to be convinced that the public really desire en 8.30 p.m. show, Mr. Frawley said, "I shall be pleased to do anything the public want of me. If they want me to start at 8.30 or 8.45, or 9.15 or later, it is all the same to me. Ishall be only too pleased to meet their wishes."

"WHAT LATE-COMERS MISS. It was another question, Mr. Frawley agreed, whether starting at an earlier hour would make the public come any the punctually. Over that matter Mr. Frawley adopts à most philosophical attitude. He bas, he said, been raising the curtain on time whether the people are în the house or not and of course that portion of the audience which is punctual has to suffer at the bands of the late

comers.

But, he points out, these latter very often receive their de- serts by being unable easily to pick up the threads of the play they have come to see. This is particularly the case where the play opens with a prologue as in "Turn to the Right," "Three Faces East," and certain others

have great difficulty both in readily grasping the meaning of the play and appreciating the atmosphere it is sought to create. In effect Mr. Frawley places himself absolutely at the disposal of the public with regard to the choice of starting time. What- ever they want he will make it his business to meet and he left the impression on our represent- ative that, if a strong enough demand were made by the public for the commencement of...per- formances at 8:30p.m., Mr. Frawley would be only too pleas ed to see that it was done.

BRITISH AIRSHIP'S REMARKABLE FLIGHT. "

London, Sept. 10.

The Air Ministry announces that Res is starting on the evening of the 11th from Norfolk on a thirty six hours flight in order to demonstrate the capabilities of lighter than air crait and as a practical illustration of comfort to passengers. Loading members of industry and representatives of Home and Dominian Government departments have been invited to participate. The airship will carry six officers and twenty-. seven of a crew. She will cruise over the North Sea Holland and France, landing at the leading towns Sleep- ing berths have been rigged in the internal keelway.

Later.

R33 starts on the 10th, not the 11th. She departed from Pulham, Norfolk at &14 to-night.

Later

R.33 returned to Pulham at 8.20 in the evening after carrying out a demonstration flight over Holland and the French and Belgian battlefields R.32 also participated in the demonstration. The two airships few over Amsterdam together at seves in the morning. R.33 had previously paas- ed over the Hague. Subsequently she voyaged to Rotterdam, Antwerp and Brüssels. She few over Lille at 240 in the afternoon. then across the battlefields. The trip lasted twenty hours. The passengers included Mr. E. A Box, Secretary to the High Commissioner for Australia.

Brussels, Sept. 11. R.33 arrived from Amsterdam at 12.45 in the afternoon. It is announced that owing to engine trouble R.33 which arrived at Brussels via Amsterdam will go direct to Londons without touching Paris. The airship was ex- pected to arrive at Saint Cr; near Paris in the afternoon to carry General Seely to London.

PLIGHT OF GERMAN SHIPPING

Berlin, Sept 12

Heineken, the Director General of the Nord Deutsche Lloyd, discussing the fature of German shipping in the com- pany's year book says besides the direct effects of the Peace Treaty the indirect consequences will utimately be fatal to German shipping. These include partial foreign control of the Rhine navigation, wholly foreign control of the Vie- tula, the diminution of German territory, the transference of the industries of Alsace Eorraine and the consequent diver- sion of traffic to Erench and Belgian ports, the renunciation of the colonies, realisation of the Entente's damages and the decision that German property abroad be reckoned at pre-war rate of exchange. Heineken concludes that it would be foolish to deny that the ton for ten policy, ruthlessly carried out in the Treaty, has pot struck Gertaan shipping to

the marrow.

NAVAL ECONOMY.

London, Sept. 11

Mr. Walter Long, speaking at a luncheon, said the Admiralty had been condemned in some quarters for undue delay in instituting the policy of economy, but he was un- willing to hurriedly cut down the Navy. Until peace had been signed it would have been a crime to have relaxed efforts to ensure the readiness of the Navy. There had been meetings daily at the Admiralty since peace and every aspect of the naval problem had been discussed. They were trying to effect economy safely but the Admiralty and Gor- ernment were not prepared to play ducks and drakes At. the same time they realised that in view of the prospect of a considerable peace it was their duty to only build ships as required, not to pursue the pre-war programme. They must do everything, to develop the commercial undertakings essential to the national prosperity.

LORD FISHER'S NAVAL VIEWS,

London, Sept. 1.

Lard Fisher, continuing his articles, insists that the reduction of naval tonnage be carried out by experts. Lord Fisher has been asked to give plans for the reduction of the estimates to thirty four millions bat has refused unless en- trusted with their execution. He says the public does not real- ize that an unobsolete half navy is equal in efficiency to all the, navies in the world bat he would in no way ceise shipbuild- ing- He believes in the internal combustion engine or oil and would build them first, not necessarily fighting vessels, but inexpensive oilcarrying tramps fitted with internal combustion engines. He is convinced that air fighting is able to sink áurface ships, so effectually that submersible Vessels will be necessary for both war and commerce.

EARLIER TELEGRAMS.

THE ROYAL TOUR,

Winnipez, Sept. 10. H.R.H. the Prince of Wales was strikingly welcomed here. The wide streets were inadequate to contain the enormous crowds and there was the greatest difficulty in securing a passage for the Royal procession to the City Hall. Similar enthusiatic scenes took place at the new Parliament Buildings where the central domed court was a masa of flowers: Another enormous gathering surrounded

: the greón campus encionire where the Prince inspected military unite including returned soldiers and also the Red River and South African war veterans. He afterwards shook hands with a long line of widows and mothers of fallen soldiers. The barrier of the snclosure barat before the pressure of the crowds and the Prince found himself in the middle of what resembled a vast rugby, scrimmage where the people were endeavouring to reach and pat him upon the back. The Prince fulfilled a long hat of engagements during the day. The streets were beautifully decorated and there were brilliant illuminations at night time,

HRH the Prince of Wales in his speech emphasised. the development of Western Canada which as the granary of the Eppire must not be delayed. The Prince attended a reception in the grounds of Government House where there was great enthusiasm. The state of the Prince's hands after so many thousands of handshakes since entering Canada is making it physically impossible for him to continue this democratic practice generally,
