"The Romance Of The
Western Chamber
G. B. S. SAXS
There are many in Hong Kong has neglected the beauty of its who have happy recollections of language. "Lady Precious Stream" when fol- j lowing its success at the Little Theatre, London, it was produced at the Hong Kong University year or two ago..
A prominent London critic said of "Lady Precious Stream" "Mr. Halang (who translated and arranged the piece) assures us that it is merely a popular commercial dráma, leaving us to wonder to what heights of excellence classi- cal Chinese drama climbs."
Mr. Hatung has chosen to answer the challenge and bas prepared a translation of “The"- Bomance of the Western Chamber."
In China this is regarded as the leading play, in spite of the fact that more · conservative play-goers regard as an impro- pritty, the intimate scene des- *- cribing in fragrant terms, the meeting of the lovers. Yet it ran into thousands editions, and no classical scholar

George Bernard Shaw, who has read the manuscript, writes.......... "I uked "The Western Chamber' very much; far better than Pre-
clous Stream which is a common- place melodrama, whereas "The western Chamber is a delightful dramatic poem, like our very best mediaeval playa.”,

It is an open secret that Mr. H. L. Estung hoped to present The. Romance of the Western Chamber' to London audiences next seasom, but has. willingly given permission for his work first to be presented th Hong Kong, so that not only may an Englishspeaking audiente enjoy the beauty of its poetry and romance, but also that through it, funds may be raised for reller work in China.
Under the leadership of Mrs. Li Shu Pul (of the Hong Kong Chin- ese Women's Soldiers' Relief Asso-- "orelation) a group of enthusiasts is now busily enraged to rehearsals. and it is hoped to produce the play at the Queen's Theatre in October next,
