Mr. John Masefield has brought his knowledge of seafaring matters to bear on the new production of "The Tempest" at the Shakes- peare Memorial Theatre.
At a recent performance, at which Sir John Simon was also present, he criticised the realistic opening stene of the foundering of the
galleon in the storm as "admir able, but hardly nautical"
This was something of a blow for Mr. Bridgés-Adams, who had spent some time in experimenting with nundels of Elizabethan ships.
Mr. Masefeld's i 'hnical critic- ism was that there was no" main. brace connecting the two masta. Mr. Bridges-Adams admitted that he had deliberately left it out, the presence of the mainbrace ruling out the stage effects of the masts splintering and falling.

However, as a compromise with realism, producer and Poet Lau reate agreed that the crew had probably taken down the main brace to splice it shortly before the curtain went up.

ALL QUIET IN PARIS
The Parisians are determined
to dispel the belief that their city is still in a semi-revolutionary. state. The need for this has been. brought home to them by the fact that the exhibition of British art has had to be postponed.
It was to have been held this spring in the Tullerles, but art collectors and directors of galle- ries in this country hesitated to send pictures to Paris.
