"THE PRINCE CHAP."
In a critism of "The Prince Chap," in which Mr H. Roberts will appear hereon Wednesday, August sth, the "Dominion" says: —"Plays of the class of 'The Prince Chap' can be said to be representative of a type born of the reaction following the drawn out period of the intensely neurotic problem play, when plain steady going lovers of the play-house were coerced into looking into their livers in perplexed attempts to discover problems that really had no being, whilst those who had locked their grisly domestic skeletons behind the doors of silence found them burst rudely open, exposing- the thing in all its limelit ghastliness. 'The Prince Cliap' pretends to be nothing more than a love play—a play of great heart interest —but throughout i"; has a buoyant spontaneity and a steady trickle of capital comedy to chase away the momentary shadows incidental to the story." "The Prince Chap" will be Mr Roberts opening bill, and on the second evening a change will be made to Henry Arthur Jones' famous comedy "The Case of Rebellious Susan." The box plan will be opened at Miss Rive's on Saturday.
