In presenting a programme of four Dunsany plays, the Hongkong Amar- eur Dramatic Club embarked upon an ambitious undertaking. For no matter how much one admires the seil of the writer and the strange variety of his imagination, it must be admitted that the charm of his work is lost unless the stage production is given with the sympathy that can only come from, understanding. Unless this is present, a Dansany play is a disappointment, and because of the oddity of the subject, a dis appointment the memory of which is apt to endure.

The defendant pleaded "guilty." Mr. King said that be did not wish to press the charge against the de- fendant.

It is perhaps in "The Glittering Gate" that Dunsany's originality is most conspicuous, and to one who is devoted to the cause of originality, most delightful. The picture of the two former burglars, one lately hanged and the other lately shot, deliberating outside the gate of Heaven, is completely above the ordinary and thoroughly satisfactory.
