" THE ROSE AND THE RING" AT THE OPERA.

'' The Hose and the Hing," that delightful and Yery lrnmoron~ fire~id<> pantomime, a:-­it is called, written by 'l'haeke'r<'!y and adapted for the stage by Harris neanc, will he pre­sented by :Hiss Nybil ~farb ai the Opera House for three performances-Friday anfl ~aturday. July 24th and 25ih. and 2 matinee on the Naturclay.

The whole pantomime will be played by children under i welYe years old, owr seventy in number- and ihe rehean:als which ar~ now being held show astoniHhing talent.

All the children are working with enthu­siasm, and to judge from thr high averagP standard of the performances PYen nm\· should irnt up a rernarkahly good sho\\. Besides her own irnpils, .J1is8 Marks ha~ roped in the Si. George's Cathedrul Roy.:;' Choir and the dances arr pC'rfornwd by the pupil8 of the .Jiis~es Kathlyn and }folly Hayward.

... \.. frnturc of 1 lw production " ·ill he Uw nO\ el and original <·o::;hm1e~ whith hav been ~pr ·ially <1l'~i<rned for the oec«tHion. 'l'lwRP em;i tUJH'H, which Hl'l' of tlw 18:ZO pniod, arc made of brocades, l'aiirn:: and velYets, the \I" hi~ wigs and 1 hrec-cornc>red hats being particularly attraciiw. From what has been seen at the rehearsals it is safe to predict that Miss l\Iarks' production of "'rhe Rose and the Hing " will be one of the most remarkable children\; production yet seen in Cape rrown.

THE ALHAMBRA.

"The Return of Dr. Fu Manchu."

The breath-taking thrills of the last Dr. Fu Manchu picture are still freHh in our memorv. The character of this insidious Orient~l doctor is an amazing creation, and has made the man ·who plays it, Warner 0 land, famous in screen work. In the ne'N talkie, "The Return of Dr. Flt Manchu," to be sho\,rn at the Alhambra next week, the incidents are said to be ten times more thrilling. Fu l\Ianchu is a perfect fiend, anrl. ::;pares nothing in hi. desire to take us from one "spooky" rendezvous to another. The story certainly promises to be Sax Rohmer at hiF best. The original "Dr. Fu l\Ianchu'' cast has been wisely brought back in its entirety. 0. P. Heggie, the clever English actor, has the part of the 8cotland Yard sleuth, and his work appears to be one long chapter of surprises. William Austin, another English actor, is the skittsh fop, who makes us laugh. Reil Hamilton is the hand-

some young Dr. Jack, and Jean Arthur is the heroin0 who i, at the mercy of Fu :Man­drn. m1d \\·ho goeR through some terrifying experiences. ~IT. ~fax Bruce ,,-ill continue to entertain U8 at the \rnrlitzrr. as only _jfr. Bruce can.

"Saturday's Children" is an intimate and absorbing study of home life amongst th(' midd1e cla1<i'e1<. Ii. is directed by Gregory La ca,·a.

In the role of Bob by HalYey, the pa 1 t originally created hy Huth Gordon in the ~ e\\" York premiere at the Booth Thea tr<' and more recentl~, played by Mary Doran opposite Douglas Fairbanks, Jnr., in Lo-; AngeleH, )li1;s Griffith has the part of a very modern working girl. which gives the beau­tiful First ~ ational star another opportunity for great individuality in characierisation. Grant Withers was borrowed from Warner Brothers to play opposite Mis8 Griffith in the role of Jim O'Neill and other prominent in the supporting cast are Alhert Conti, Alma Te1l, Lucien Littlefield, Charle. Lane, Anne Schaeffer and Marcia Harris.
