What is this something which fascinates, lures, attracts us when we behold or hear anything Chinese or Oriental? Is it the mysteriousness, the ancientness, the wisdom of it all? Did yOU ever Stop to consider how old the Chinese drama is: It is old—old—old —old, and very unchanged. The Ch'ii stage is still one of the greatesl simplicity, the scenery quite -care. I might -a> the scenery on a Chinese stage depends entirely on the individual's imagination! Alarming, is it not? And yet, quite true. The individual sees with his physical eyes only a few chair-, a few 'crude pieces of wood rephouse or something I the eyi s of his imagination see moss-covered paths, beautiful gardens, a babbling brook, magnificent temples and IUS halls. Some placards may give information concerning the ■ i. but on a CbiiK -, stage there is not the bountiful adornment that we find on diir American st;mc.

Since the floor space is much larger than we have been accustomed to, we find thai there i- more need for quiet attention during the blessing, and when the notices are being read. We hear complaints thai the notices cannot be heard. But are we really doing our part? Even it all of us are not interested in hearing tin1 notices, we should remember that then- are others who may be seriously inconvenienced by our thoughtlessness in keeping them from hearing. If after doing our part it is still difficult to hear we feel sure that the Home Department will deVise some method to relieve the situation.
