Romance Of Western Chamber Was Outstanding Success
(By ROSETTE)
ALL GOOD THINGS HAVE TO COME TO AN END somehow or other and in the case of "Romance of the Western Chamber," it had its fast hours on the stage of the Queen's Theatre on Thurs- day night. Many" tedious hours were spent in making this play the great success it was," and I must say the efforts of everybody con- cerned were well spent, for not a person left the theatre without "uttering a word of praise for the excellent way in which the play was enacted.

CHINA'S SOUTH-WESTERN COMMUNICATIONS
HIGHLY PROBABLE THAT BURMA- YUNNAN HIGHWAY WILL EXIST
Capable British Engineers Working On Project
(Special to the "Hongkong Dally Press')
AS THE RAINY SEASON AND THE MONSOONS-are practically over, it is highly probable that improved communications between Burma and Yunnan will exist, and it is hope that, before the next rainy season arrives, the draining of roads will be sufficiently ad- vanced to avoid landslides and washouts.
On the Burma side of the new highway, there are two very cap- able British road engineers: Mr. Farquhar-Tate, at Bhamo, and Mr. Eccles; at Lashlo. In addition, Mr. Fogerty, the British Commissioner for the Shan States, is sponsoring in every way the improvement of communications in every sense of the word:
At present, the railhead used is, landing grounds, service stations at Lasho, which is on a branch are of little use as stores and sup- line trom Mandalay and some 300 plies have to be brought to them: miles distant.
