The troupe and orchestra werel formed in Shanghai by Mr. R. Beck, who said yesterday that one of the most difficult things he had ever done was the selection of the or clicstra.
From Calcutte, their plans ore in- definite. The troupe may travel on to Europe, or may decide on a tour of the southern Islands, the Philip- pines and Java. Much depends on the length of their stay at the Grand Hotel, their contract there being for six months with D possible six months extension. Several residents in Hongkong will remember the Mid-|
