Stream which Methuen's have in the press. Though the play. Ia ot some antiquity, it has rarely been acted as a whole, being usually given in separate acts, the third and fourth in particular having delighted millions of Chinese. It is now written in English for the Arst time by a Chinese scholar, S. I. Hsuing, who, among other ap- pointments, has been Professor of English in the Min Kuo Univer- sity. Peking. and has also trans- lated Thomas Hardy, Sir James Barrie, and Mr. Bernard Shaw into Chinese. Mr. Hsuing, who has been closely associated with the Chinese stage for many years, is now on his first visit to England.

^^KING'S MUSICK
My surmise at the time of Sir Edward Elgar's death that Sir Walford Davies would be his suc- cessor as Master of the King's Musick has been fulfilled.
In the "London Gazette" Sir Walford is described as "master of the Musle to his Majesty."
This, I was rather surprised to find, follows the usual precedent.
The
announcement for many years has been nitue in that form," an official at Buckingham Palace said. "The King's Music phrase la an archalam which for some reason many people prefer to retain."

But at this moment the House when he looks In is apt to set him against the background of his long and brilliant career and to wel- come him most for what he did at its apogee as the Great War Prime Minister. They see him no longer through the eyes of partisanship. There is no rancour left. And perhaps if his sword flashed again he could not rouse it. Politics has become a peaceful occupation. Is that why he has no taste for it?
