Ada Reeve, the English comedi- enne, arrived at Durban, Natal, from Australia under engagement to Leonard Rayne for a South African tour. She was, confined »o h<>r hotel suffering from a nervous breakdown. Inquiries made before mail leaving states she is recovering. The Cape Town branch of the Af- rican Theatres, Ltd., under manage- ment of M. M. Smollan, intend to give a chance to budding talent throughout the district.' March 31 will be the tryout night on the Pier, and promisee of engagements in the African Theatres, Ltd., halls are held out to those who prove winners. An outbreak of fire In the ear'y hours of the morning of March 2H partly destroyed the City Bioscope, Sir Lowry road, Cape Town.
