"THE CAT AND THE CANARY."

<( Ihose who like sensations, especially creeps laid on thick should.see "The Oat and the Canary," now being performed at the Grand Opera House' It is one of the family of mystery plays, 'the, secret of which is not likely to be revealed except by the performance; and trom the first moments it is tinged with, ghostliness and punctuated with cjueer happenings. When it is all over one realises that even the most shivery experiences may arise out of pure rascality.without the slightest intervention ot the supernatural influences. Lacking the subtlety that has made many other plays of the same type remarkable, this one is made into an acceptable performance by good acting. Miss Isobel Wilford again distinguished herself in the leading role, and Mr. Garry Marsh %vho emerges as the hero, gave a clever and consistent performance. Most of the audience were much impressed by the curious and sometimes alarming work of Miss Georgia Harvey, who, as a West Indian negress,, imparted most of the ghostly atmosphere of the play. "The Cat and the Canary" will be repeated this evening.
