fered as a good show of modern
type" They should fairly be called
operas rather than plays. since an
orchestra accompanies the lines that
are spoken or sung by the actors and
the music is as continuous as the
talk. But the music has become sub
ordinate. The musicians stay In
their places at the back of the stage.
and in Chatham Square they wear
any sort of costume that happens
to be comfortable. During July
some were in perfect white f1annes,
some in khaki trousers and sleeveless
undershirts. some in the sleek black
coats OF old China

that the show went on they refreshed
themselves with cigarettes and tea.

ladies. brave sons, flowers, trees,
mountains and moonlit gardens.
Now and again there is a discourse
on filial duty or on religion. The
substance seems not to be peculiarly
Asiatic. but to strike at about the
level OF the mass mind everywhere.
SO it is with the whole show.
Everything is objective. Reasons for
reward and revenge are perfectly
obvious to the most matter of fact
Western mind. Virtue always tri-
umphs in the end. Vice is completely
confounded. Justice is poetic, almost
painfully so, but the audience is en-
tirely satisfied and entertained.
The conventions of the Chinese
stage are of the simplest and are
exceedingly easy TO comprehend.
They leave everything to the imagi-
nation, and they leave nothing to the
Imagination. There is a definite sign
for everything. To some Western
minds these signs seem to be OF pre-
eisely the same sort that children
everywhere use when they raid an
attic, stake off space in a back
yard and say Lets play" The
thought back of the stage symbols is
direct and childlilSe. Costumes, 10
be sure, are as elaborate as possible.
but the settings for the stage could
be moved in a pushcart. Pink and
blue satin for a drop, with any sort
of painted canvas scene, is kept as
a constant background There is one
entrance and one exit.
Two chairs, a table, various pieces
of brilliant embroidery, with the deep
blue background and floral pattern
characteristic of Canton: some wall
banners of jade and vermilion and
gold, and black and white damasls
signs furnish a sufficient equipment
TO portray anything.
Cover the table and the chairs with
elaborate embroidery. set them in a
stiff geometrical pattern and you
have a palace. Take the embroidery
off the chairs. leave it on the table
and you have the home of a rich
merchant.
Set one chair back OF the table and
the other 10 one side, and with the
entrance of the judge with his long
black beard and his ceremonial fan

Almost every story is chock fun

devotee of the dime novel could
find no fault with the opera Of Cam

casionally the action stops for reci-
tative to the accomplishment OF a
faint tinkling tune on a banjo with
a snakeskin head. But these beau

Strip the table and take the chairs
away. Set a box or two on the
table and have q merchant going
through the motions Of appraising
various pieces of jeweiry. That is a
pawnshop. Overturn the table, lay
the chairs on their sides, have a
wretched victim inside the enclosure,

side, and now you have Jail. Could
anything be simpler?
All these scenes occur in one of
the most popular of the operas that
were presented in July. story which

long speeches have most of them
been omitted and the music of the
orchestra has been made subordinate
to the lines. 1t is entirely possible
in these new operats to hear what the
actors say and also what they sing.
And above all is the expurgation.
The stage has not changed any
more than has the audience. Every
night of the season twenty or thirty
children attended the new opera, sit
ting out in front and going back

Outdoor scenes are, of course,
handled differently. To a chair COW

a bamboo wand with a pink paper
flower at the top. The sign of a
garden. The Chinese do not take
their shows so very seriously. They
laugh at these transparent devices
for indicating the place of an action.
But they enjoy immensely the pre-
lenses of the kind OF world that their
stage gives them. There is constant
and varied action. There is violence

faithful wives appear and ungrateful
children. Foolish old men wish to
marry young girls and silly girls of
the tiapper age have sweethearts
