Changing China

A quarterly non-political review of life and conditions in China.

Changing China is an interesting and useful quarterly. The articles which it contains have been written in the form of letters by men and women of various ranks of life who are living in the interior of China. They are not professional writers with any axe to grind but are describing what they have actually seen and experienced . The reader gets a picture or rather a series of pictures of life in Modern China, and at the same time a resumé of the progress made in industrial development during the past quarter. .; "

There were two other represen- tatives of the older generation of players whom I noticed in the Audience Miss Irene Vanbrugh and Sir Philip Ben Greet. They secried to find the old-time thriller much to their taste.

So, too, did the audience. I had seen the play before with Sir Nigel and Lady Playfair at the Lyric, Haminersmith, and so paratively calm But all around ing I saw the tensest expressions.

ON SIR NIGEL'S ADVICE

It was the play's third "first night"the previous ones being a Sunday night production, and at the Lyric, Hammersmith, Mr. Henry Oscar, who takes the part of the villain, apologised at curtain fall for the absence of the author on the grounds that he must have lost count.!!

Sir Nigel Playfair, who still takes a great interest in the Lyric, was, one of those most strongly in favour of bringing this production to the West-end.

Whether or not the natural con- servatism of the public will mili- tate against the new policy of low prices I do not know. But I have seldom heard a play so enthusias tically received.

More than 300 of them are employed by Manchukuo along the railway, chiefly in cities.
