Cast For "Arcadians"
Woll Ahead With Rehearsals
Philharmonic The Hongkong Society is now well ahead with its rehearsals for "The Arcadians" pro- duction and has announced a very strong provisional cast.
As anticipated a few weeks ago Anne Winter has a principal singing part as "Sombra". The complete lst is given below and it will be geen that many old Philharmonic handa have been entrusted with important roles.
Newcomers, so for as leading per- formers in the Society's productions are concerned, are Doris Blair and llector Wiggins, as the lovers of the play. The former is well-known to Hongkong "Isteners" as a broadcast- ing artiste.
Another newcomer to the Society, who really needs no introduction to jocal audiences, is Waite Simpson who participates with Harry Cockle and Evelyn Fullerton in the comedy work of the production.
Supporting parts are placed in the hands of Nina Valentine and Lawry Els while that well-known veteran of many Philharmonic shows, Harry fest, has been given a nice character study.

In history, we can read of a hero who got bis glory by the costly encrifice of another country, or a nation's supremacy made at the destruction.

This may be excused for non- educated.
But if there is a man who possesses certain number of premises and has obtained rome degree of honour, is it not reasonable to believe that he has received some education? And yet it is sometimes this educated gentle- man, who, due to sheer selfishness makes his own pocket well by profiteering.
In view of national polley, this weakness of man is grossly expozed,

Nanking, Nov. 0. China does not favour direct negotiations with Japan in setting the Far Eastern conflet, declared Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek at a press conference during the week- end.
When asked what he thought of direct negallations, the Generallesime replier: "Such a proposal, if actu ally maile, would serve no other pur- pose than to increase China's dim- culty, would be entirely contrary to the
