The Forrest City times., 1893-06-02

art is here epicted-Chinese, Turkish, Algerian and Soudanese-not counting the Japanese, which is, happily, un- finished.
 The Chinese theatre is the most pre- tentiOus. It is slmon pure in all it's makeup. The striking feature is the orchestra, spread all over the stage, led by man armed with a pair of yard wide cymbals. eXhausting his strength in trying to maintain that lead in the face of a dozen of tom-toms, dinner bells, gOngs. etc. manipulated by nen as anxious to lead as himself. No ces sation of music during the play. W #t is the prologue or first act uf Hi-hi-yuU Tn which the birth of all heir cuts a fig ure. Amid the clash of horrid yeIls and full orchestra the heir is drawn from the volumlnous folds of ornamented rags that encircle the swelling bosom of the deposed princess, and-y0u are ready to go.
 The Turkish theatre is across the way from the Chinese. It is q little out the way, and you may miss tiff you are deaf. Having ears to hear. you are apprised of its whereabouts at for tv yards distance by the orchestra, hlilCll OJlS Oii biiC tIbiII OICNS anu hio- courses horrors on sort of hageolet and base drum. The orchestra plays bat one tune and plays that hard When q respectable house has been gathered. the curtain rises on a Turkish play. It is d sweet story of d youth who is loveSick and cannot be cured by the doctor-bY the soothsayer-by anyone except his love, who coleS in time, and | Id so bad. and the costumes, dances and songs are interesting
 The Algerian theatre is sort of free and easy, consisting of singing. dancing and contOrtion acts The dancing is T movement of the body, and the dan cers are dressed light for the occasion. The singing is on the drone order. but what is lacking in vocal music. is made up in double orchestra who never let up on the solitary three note tune The women are Very pretty, and the cos tunes gorgeous.
 The SoudaneSe dance hall is in hut of bark, out of the door of which comes the discOrdant noise of the tom-tOm. and ii you have twO-bitS worth of curi- oSity. you may go in and see the Sou danese dance. It is the perfection of simplicity. If you were to paint your face black. look wild eyed. stiffen your hair in many strands. array yourself in a cotton garment that revealed more than 1t concealed. and then were to jump straight up and down to the nut sic of dOlorous chant. you would not be far aStray. But there is one Sou daneSe performer you could scarcely hope to equal, unless you were to learn some devil s chant. gird your Joins with loose belt of shells. and by rapid con- tortions of your body make these prim- tive cymbals accompany your chant. She is the star of the troupe. It may be noticed that ladies do not often en- ter the S0udaneSe hut, and that the men look rather shamfaced if on their way out they meet white women.
