"Othello" A Triumph
Of Dramatic Art
Last week we saw the Hongkong Stage Club pre- sent "Othello" at the Lee Theatre as their contribu- tion to the Festival of Arts.
It was by far the most ambitious production under- taken by the Stage Club, and as a spectacle, it was worth seeing, but more than that, it was, without doubt, a triumph of dramatic art.

ALLEGED MANSLAUGHTER: CORPORAL ON TRIAL
A collision between a Kowloon Canton Railway train and an Army 35-ton Comet tank in which the train guard was killed, had a sequel when' the tank commander, Corporal Richard Moore, 22, appeared on trial for manslaughter before Mr Justice James Wicks and a Jury of six men and. a woman in the Criminal Sessions this morning.
Corporal Moore, of the 2nd Troop “C” Squadron, 7th Queen's Own Hussars, was alleged to have unlawfully killed Yu Choi-po, at Bird's Hill level crossing, Tau Pass, between Taipo and Fanling, on November 12 last. It is alleged by the Crown that the unlawful killing was caused through the negligence of the accused in his conduct, management and control of the
tank.
