ARCADIANS CHARM COLONY AUDIENCE

PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY HIT SPARKLES WITH

LIVELY COMEDY

For years the Hongkong Philharmonic Society's annual productions have figured high in the list of the Colony's speciality entertainments, and the public has learnt from experience to look for some distinguished performances. "The Arcadiaus", a musical comedy of considerable charm and whimsy, is the Society's latest offering, and, like numbers of its predecessors, it can be docketed as a distinctive achievement by the local amateur players.

Last night's opening performance offered an extremely high standard of entertainment, und although one could discern n slight weakness here and there, the production as a whole left one with the feeling of having and spent a particularly enjoyable entertaining two and a half hours.

The honours are well shared by a talented cast. Leading awards for outstanding comedy characterisations RO to W. C.
