HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE.
“SEVEN DAYS’ LEAVE.” It is safe to predict a big success for “Seven Days’ Leave,” which opens at His Majesty’s on Saturday. As the title states, it deals with seven nays’ leave of several soldiers,! who return to their native village. A cook’s son has attained rank as an officer, and a nobleman is a ranker, and fetches and carries for him. The villagers on the East Coast and the folks there, led by Lady Mary Heather, are kindly and simple, and have extended much sympathy to two Belgian refugees, a wounded officer and his sister. Captain Terance Feilding, who has been a wounded prisoner of war in Germany, but managed to escape, recognises them as two brutal Germans. He tells his superior officer, and they immediately take action to circumvent them and foil their p’ans Captain Terry is persecuted by the. spies, who try to obtain knowledge of a new and wonderful gun. The acts are well constructed, the interest of the audience is gained by taking them into confidence from the first and every move to trap the spies is watched with wrapt attention.
