HONG KONG'S FIRST ARTS FESTIVAL
1. I was delighted to read your despatch of
19 April and to know that your Arts Festival had
been such a success. I do heartily congratulate
you.
The Festival was a worthy complement to your
other social programmes, which as you know we hold
in high regard. The idea may, as you say, have
been artistic madness; but it was certainly
great
magnificent madness and a magnificent success.
The degree of local Chinese participation in the
audience was particularly encouraging. Further
localisation of the programmes will, as you say,
encourage this, as will modified arrangements to
make the tickets more easily available to Hong Kong
people.
2.
I have also written to Ian Hunter to congratu-
late him.
