every month i'm the year. his yearly
income is $40, 600, or the equivalent
of 81 200. 600 i'm China.
Earns $75O.OOO i'm Year.
This does not include his earnings
from private performances. for which
official and wealthy business men bid
against one another for the privilege
of paying him huge sums of money 10
appear before them. A few years ago
a group of American bankers in Pc
king paid him 81 600 for half hour
of singing and dancing. These bring
his net earnings close to $150.o00 a
year.
Like all great Chinese actors, he
plays only female parts. No Chinese
actress can compare with him. He is
married and the father of two chill
dren. Though he is 80 years old, he
looks only %. He is rather delicate
looking, his complexion is unusually
fair and clear and his voice low and
soft and his hands extraordinarily
small and graceful.
Held Up i'm Dressing Room.
He comes from family of actors
who. in China. are still clasSed as out
caSts. Though he has become fahu-
lousy rich. his main extravaganza is
buying old scripts of Chinese classic
dramas. which he adapts for his own
use. The only sensational episode in
his life is that recently he was held
up in his dressing room and forced 10
sign a $50. 600 check on penalty of as
Sassination if he stopped payment
About two years ago it was report
ed that a group of Chinese merchants
had pooled $4,000 for series of en-
gagements foT him in this country.
