Actor Dramatists of Yuan-

Dynasty.

The dramatic poets of the Yuan Dynasty might not be great thinkers or scholers. But like Shakespeare or Moliere, they were actors them selves and therefore had the knack of writing plays to please them selves as well as others. On the

whole, like Shakespeare too, these Yuan dramatists brought forth their plays without losing touch with audiences and sensitive to most eur nb things of the time that would appeal to the prentices, courtiers, citizens, light ladies and bullies in their diversity of tastes.

The Ming Period,

The dramas of the succeeding dynasties like Ming (1388-1843) and Ching (1844-1911) are also significant ir the sense that they were foundću cha romantic plays and because they were entirely free from the orthodox technics. The dramatic works of these two periods, like those of Yan, as regarded as equally im portant classics.

The Ming dynasty brought about certain drama'ic changes, in that the northern style af musical drama was displaced by the southern style, which was called K'un Ch'u. The Ming dramatists may well be called the Chinese Gilbert and Sullivan One of the main features was tho liberty taken at this prioed to use the local dialects in the fibrettos and speeches.

i have not the time to cater into details on the drama during the Ming and Ching dynasties. Sulice it to say that subsequently the popular theatre grows side by side with the classical drains. From first to last, the Manchu Imperial house and princely families shared the delight of the masses for the National drama. Whilst in Peking." I had the raro privilege of seeing a historical play performed by a galaxy of old famed actors of the Empress Dowager's daya within the Presidential PalaceIt is said that theatricals were indispensable pe- companiment in the court festivals before the fall of the last dynasty. Those of us who have seen the talents of high order in the theatro within the palhces and in Peking it- self could visualise the glory that

was.

Lincolnshire. Regt. and Signalman Austin. Royal Corps of Signals, are left in the Light Weight class, and here again the result is very opon.

The Sual of the Feather Weight class will be contested by Pte. Trogonning, South Wales Border- ers, and Pte. Woolnough, Lincoln- shire Regt. and the final of the Flying Weight by Ptes. Oven and Burchell both of the Borderers.

Altogether 10 very good and even bouts, marking the end of a suc cessful season.".
