AT “NIGHT MUST FALL”

Another large audience of "firstnighters” was present at the Grand Opera House on Saturday night, for the opening night of the J. C. Williamson drama. "Night Must Fall.” Though not quite so cold as the previous Saturday, the night called for warm wraps and furs, and among the women in the audience were to be seen many attractive fur and velvet cloaks and capes, with a generous sprinkling of fur coats. Short white fur coats were in evidence on every hand, and this time there was to be noticed an increasing number of those chic little fur capes, some with upstanding collars and others without any collar whatsoever, that seem to put a finishing touch to the smartness of the frocks with which they are worn.

Among those noticed in the audience were: Lady Shirtcliffc. Captain L. Vaughan Morgan and Mrs. Vatiglian Morgan, the Kt- Hon. G. W. Forbes and Mrs. Forbes. Miss Bertha Forbes and Mr. Bob Forbes, Mrs. Quirk and Miss Betty and Miss Sheila Quirk, Miss Maginnitv. Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Pope, Mr. and Mrs. G. IT. Swan, Mrs. E. E. Gillon, Mr. and Mrs. W.
