HIS MAJESTY’S
“THE GHOST TRAIN” Shivers of excitement, relieved by laughter, a mixture of the weird and the amusing, are tlie characteristics of “The Ghost Train” at His Majesty’s. The actual ghost train is extremely uncanny in itself, and the effect is added to by the events that go before it. Audiences would go home trying to repress an occasional nervy shudder were it not for the fact that nearly every situation is relieved by the surpassing foolishness of a gentleman who had always wanted to pull the communication cord, and did it when his hat blew out of the carriage window, thus landing a party of half a dozen into such a night as ' they would never want again. The story provides a mystery that is unsolved until the last moment, when there are surprises. Mr. Basil Radford, in the “silly ass” part, is extremely clever, and the tragedy side is in the capable hands of Miss Betty Ross-Clarke and Mr. Hugh E. Wright, both noted English artists. “The Ghost Train” will continue until Wednesday evening.
