The first of the two Christmas Matinees was held. Inat night at the Theatre Royal, and I think all the children pre- sent, and a great many of the grown-ups will want to go again to-day. The scenery from. first to last is so beautiful, and the lighting so carefully controlled, that Hong Kong will be reminded of that year when Mr. Siuclair gave us the four Dunsany Plays, and that is all too long ago. Small voices from, up- stairs and down were calling for more of the lairies, more of the elves.
The short curtain raiser of these spirits dancing in the gloom was an excellent introduction to the Pastoral Play which followed. This Fhantasy, which was previously acted in the open air at Bens lining

This entertainment is the most de- lightful of its kind that has been given China Lights (combined). in Hong Kong for a long time, and one feel sorry for the child who misses it.
