TRANSLATOR AND THE
FLAY
Mr. S. I. Hslung, the trandia- tor of this play, is well known as the introducer of the first drama of his country to the Western world. That was "Tady Precious Stream." which scored for Mr. Hsiung an initial success and ran for more than 300 performances fa London.
When that popular melodrama was so offered, Mr. Hsiung pro- mised to follow it with a version of one of the classics of China, and he has so done in transia-
Romance ting "The
of the Western Chamber". So far, this has not been produced on any stage abroad, but Mr. Hatung has kind- ly accorded special permission for this presentation in Hongkong.
Dramatists, including the great G. B. Shaw, - agreed ¦ that · Mr. Hsiung has done a great service to China and the Western stage in portraying the excellence of Chinese drama, for by his bene- flcent activities he has given and clarified a message of his coun- try's culture.
LOVE STORY ·" Those who are arrested and thrown into an ecstasy of enjoy- ment by "Lady Precious Stream" will derive equal pleasure, from. "The Romance of the Western Chamber," and acclaim it the mas- terpiece that it is, and will realise in China as THE play.
The theme is based upon a short story written by · Yuan Cheng, a poet of the eighth cen- tury, which his biography, dis- closes was his own love affair, In the Yuan Dynasty eminent play- wrights in the persons of Wang Shib-fu and Kwang Han-ching faithfully dramatized it. The story, is a very naturaj ône which bas happened in many a family aver-aince the beginning of the world.
ocetry
It is written in beautiful and is full of charm, subtlety, pathos and vitality.
The play deals with the pictures- que side of Chinese life, domes- tic scenes, military interventions,
simple ceremonies of the kind in which the life of the East abounds, and centering daughter, provides great histronic scope.
