ENTERTAINMENTS
.«, . "THE MAN WHO STAYED AT HOME." There is no doubt that "The Man Who Stayed at Home" possesses the element! of popular appeal. The identity of "the man," Christopher Brent, is revealed at an early stage, so that the audience has the satisfaction of knowing that the German spies are being watched, and will most certainly be foiled. The denouement is just as, in the minds of all loyal Britishers, it ought to be. Mr Frank Harvey, as Christopher Brent, refrained from exaggeration, both as the feather-headed "Johnny" and as the astute secret service agent. Mtes Vio'et Paget as Miriam Leigh, Brent's coworker, was equally effective. Last night Their Excellencies the Governor and the Countess of Liverpool witnessed the play, and the Prime Minister (Rt. Hon. W. F. Massey) and other members of the National Cabinet were also present.
