SPINNING MILL DISASTER. -
ME. SINCLAIR'S CLEVER STAGE MODELS. Visitors to the Hongkong sec- tion of the Empire Exhibition will Ino doubt be surprised to find that, among other things, Hongkong can specialise in the designing and making of really beautiful stage sets. To take stage models to London would seem something like taking coals to Newcastle, for, rather, like trying to teach one's grandmother, but we think that when Mr. W. Sinclair's models are exhibited at Wembley they will not only excite admira- tion but envy also. Last evening we had the privilege of viewing Mr. Sinclair's models as set up at his house "Bangour," No 192 The

Mr. Singlair's or iginal setting for "The Tempest” -fantastic as the play itself and it has been faithfully and cleverly reproduced.

It is a very fine conception. But perhaps what will interest Home folk most are the Chinese set- tings, for they are faithful to detail, beautiful as paintings and
