SPLENDID PERFORMANCE
BY STUDENTS.
The concert hall at the Chinese Y.M.C.A. was packed on Saturday evening when n "programme of plays and vocal and instrumental iterus was presented by the stud ents of King's College.
Probably the most appreciated item of the lengthy programme was the Chinese comedy "To the Concert," very cleverly performed by Mr. Chan Tak Chiu and Mr. Wong Yiu Sang, the former being the author.. The Trial Scene from The Merchant of Venice" and Dunsany's "A Night at an Inn" were very well received, and Mr. G Sims, of King's College, who arranged the settings for these pays and was responsible for the coaching of the actors, is deserving of much praise for his admirable production
