DR.. Frederic Poole, the well-known
interpreter of Chinese plays, gave a
reading of the first act of The yell
low Jacket" a characteristic Chinese
play. The Chinese theater is utterly
without scenery or background and
the properties are very simple, but
DR.. Poole brought vividly before his
hearers, the tale of love and sacri-
flee which THE Yellow Jacket" tells.
1t is beautiful little story of how a
mother sacrificed her life for her
child, and how the child came to
wear the Yellow Jacket-the sign of
highest imperial favor.
DR.. Poole preceded the reading of
play by little talk on the customs
and life of the Chinese. his costumes
illustrated the talk. The language and
the alphabet of the Oriental were
clearly explained by this noted in
terpreter.
The story of the Yellow Jacket is
as old as the hills and as young as
the springtime. It is. replete with
strange and unexpected situations
and compelling in it's wonderful COM
bination of subtle humor, fearful
pathos and deep tragedy. 1t is a play
without scenery, yet it's scenery is as
big as your Imagination.
