The forthcoming production by the A.D.C. of Mr. Donn Levy' much discussed play "Art and Mrs. Bottle" has given rise some misgivings as to whether it will accord with the taste· and preference of 4 Hongkong audience--that for Apme little- understood reason is supposed to from other be slightly different nudiences.
