Thousands who have read A. 8S. M.

It has | been a long time since any play has created the advance comment that "East is West" has aroused. This | means that the Hastings players wil! bave to put forward their best foot | next week when their friends throng ! the theatre to see this romance. The play is from the pem of the famous author Samuel Shipman who has written a score of big successes; | in the past several years.

In this difii- cult, entirely psychological situation, Percy Marmont shows clearly his complete understanding of the mind of Mark. While vicious, poisonous Questions are being hurled at him the fitting exxpressions of the face of Marmont are those of bewilder- ment, horror--he is unable to realize the situation and the charges against him. To him it does not seem pos- sible that these men can really mean what they charge him with. They couldn't possibly believe that he committed a crime. Then, armed with the proof that Twyning's son is the father of Effie Bright's child, Mark seeks out the elder Twyning to "bash him." He enters the office with murder in his heart. He learns that Twyning's son gave his life in battle.
