THE STRANGEST CHRISTMAS PLAY.

It is called "The Song of the, Shepherds, and is acted on a fit-up stage in a dancing hall in the Via Amedeo, Naples, at this season of

the year.

The room is hot and stuffy, almost beyond bearing. The performance is three hours long and cuts out all hope of dinner. But we are seeing something out of the common run.

The first scene is "The Revolu tion in Hell The stage a peopled with devils in scarlet, horned and chained, heavily bearded and equip ped with formidable teeth. The programme, indeed, is a veritable treatise on dæmonology. Not a word of the dialogue is intelligible, for it is in the Neapolitan dialect, which now includes snippets from mosi languages, even Arabic!
