that he kept us laughing in his

Shakespeare in Burmese was sue

chosen and the participants were
amateurs recruited from the Burmese
legal profession these. The play was
selected and adapted to Burmese
ideas by Maung Tin. district judge.
Some idea Of the original lines on
which the play was produced may be
gathered from the fact that the scene
was laid in China! So encouraging
were the financial results that the
idea is to be followed up, the scenes
being shifted according to the imagi-
nation of the promoters.
