MARRIAGE PROBLEM.

TO-MORROW'S PRODUCTION BY THE A.D.C.

The problem of marriage pro vides the theme for Mr. Frederick Lonsdale's "On Approval" which the Hongokong A.D.C. is present- ing for the first time to-morrow evening.

Only four characters are includ- ed, the Duke of Bristol, Richard Halton, Mrs. Marin Wislack and Miss Helen Hayle, and it follows, therefore, that very real talent is required to carry the performance through with success,

The rehearsals have, however, fully justified the confidence of the A.D.C. and a fine show, which keeps moving, is safely assured. Nothing seems to have been over- looked, and the production is like- ly to prove a big triumph for Mrs. F. G. Hunt.

Sir,-All who have witnessed the performances of the Banvard Comedy Co. at the Star Theatre, Kowloon, have nothing but com- mendation for the very, fine enter tainment given. There is, how- ever, one circumstance that tends greatly to mar one's enjoyment of these performances and that is smoking is permitted in the theatre. I attended the Star Theatre on Saturday evening, with ladies, and I may say without the sligh- test exaggeration that all through the performance the dadies suffer ed much discomfort through the smoky atmosphere that pervaded the auditosh Strong cigars, strong cigarettes pipes, 'etc., etc.,}] all contributing. At the conclu- Partick T sion of the performance, I, quite Queen's Park an old, seasoned smoker, suffered hoadache and nausea, and the ladies who accompanied me, much more so their clothing even be- Ing tainted with the odour of tobacco smoke.
