"NIGHT MUST FALL”

IS BIG SUCCESS

Mr. Emlyn Williams' contributions to the theatre have con- sistently revealed him to be a keen student of human nature, and in his play "Night Must Fall", produced last night at the China Fleet Club by the Hongkong A.D.C., he roams among the tortuous paths of paychological investigation, throwing the beam from his analytical torchlight with unerring judgment and skill on half a dozen different types of people.

I predleting a severe winter Mr. Sandstroem bases his view on natural signs-suchas a large crop of berries,

Other signs upon which he relies are the very early migra- tion of erfs to the sea, and the
