THE H. B. WARING

COMPANY.

Capital Performance of

"Mr. Pim Passes By." The blunderings of that genial| old muddler Mr. Carraway Pim ate the pivot of Mr. A. A. Milne's three-act comedy, "Mr. Pim Passes By," which kept a large audionce excited and amused last night, when the accomplished H. B. Waring Company of Lon- don artistes presented the piece at the Thea're Royal.

Squire Marden, J.P., and his wife Olivia, are living happily together on their. comfortable estals in the country, with thei squire's ward; and in the opening scene Brian Strange, a youthful artist of Futurist or Cubist propensities, makes love to Dinab, and is accepted. Then comes the question of obtaining the guardian's consent, and the guardian, despite the pleas of his wife, is not disposed to approve of a-boy-and-girl marriage on exiguous income. While Olivia is exercising the arts of persua- sion, a development occurs con- cerning their own marriage that throws the juvenile love-making into the background.

ар

Olivia's first husband was an unscrupulous company-promotor, ono Tollworthy, convicted of fraud, whom she believes to have! died several years previously in Australia; but a visit from old Mr. Pim, lately returned from that country, throws the squire and his lady into dismay, for Mr. Pim tells them that Tellworthy | returned to Europe by the same ship. A council is hold, the squire's aunt, Lady Marden, being taken into confidence. Relief comes, however, when the forget- ful Mr. Pim relates that just before the end of the journey the Freturned man swallowed a fish boue with fatal results. Thus when the curtain is rung down for the second time Olivia is in an hysterical state from succeed- ing emotions.

Although Mr. Pim'e disclosure removes a big difficulty, there is still the question of the validity of their marriage, so the squire and Olivia arrange to visit a London registry-office in order to go! through the legal formality. This time the dear old blunderer, Mr. Pim, solves the problem by explaining that he had mixed up! the names. His follow-passenger was another Dan altogether. Tellworthy having been dead ali the time. Their own troublesi disposed of, it only romains for the squire to bostow his benedic- tion upon the young couple.

Miss Jeanette Sherwin proved herself an artist in depicting the| part of Olivia, with its varied! phases, her performance being the more creditable because she took the place of Miss Rita Ricardo at short notice. Mr. Chas Quartermaine well portray- ed the merits and faults, the prejudice and generosity, of the squirearchy, while Mr. Christian Morrow was admir- able as the senile blunderer. Mr. H. B. Waring was the picture of the young enthusiast in art and love, Miss May Hallatt and Miss Madaline Grande well re- presented Lady Murden and the maid.

If we have a criticism to offer, it is that "Aweet young things" should not be named Dinah. Wel should have said that such a thing was 思 contradiction in terms but for the evidence of our eyes, seeing that Miss Edith Smith (who was Dinab while on the stage) looked a picture of youthful charm. Any way, the reflection, if such it be, is upon the author,
