'THE ADMIRABLE CRICHTON ’
No comedy has ever been written that is more delightful, more whimsical, than Sir James Barries’s ‘ The Admirable Crichton.’ No play, in fact, could have ■ a more appeal. It deals with Lord Loam and his family on tho one hand, and his butler Crichton and all the other servants on the other. Lord Loam believes desperately in the natural equality of man, and Crichton believes just as intensely m the natural inequality of man. then they become shipwrecked on an island, and under the new conditions. Crichton becomes tho master and Lord Loam and ]>is family become the servants. Jhe situation that develops can better he imagined than described, and Barrie makes the most of his opportunities. Tho stagin'' is particularly effective, and Mrs* Wynne, the stage manager, is determined that the island scenes shall set a new standard m amateur work. The cast includes Misses Nell Warren, Mollic Randle, and Billie Robinson, and Messrs Gordon Niven, Dpuglas Skene, and Frank Lanyon.
