¿

"Druidism" was the subject of an interesting lecture given by Mr. W. C. Pelshow at the weekly meet- ing of the Hongkong Theosophical Society yesterday evening.

The artistic exterior and interior beauty of the Oriental Theatre at Wanchal, to open on Sunday, ranks it as one of the best theatres in the Colony. In feature and design the building serves to Illustrate the

Lighting Effects. The lighting effects are both pleasing and novel. Concealed electric bulbs bebind cone shaped globes throw a soft light over the puditorium, while high up in the lofty ceiling concealed lights assist in the general illumination.

The dress circle is elongated and is an improvement, being greater in slope towards the back of the theatre, allowing more air space in the stall below. The seating eapacity of both stalls and dress circle, incidentally, is greater than any other theatre in the Colony. Several exits are provided from the dress circle, and the main entrance is by two wide stairways, thickly carpeted, leading up from the lounge room and lobby below, A small cafe, leading into the dress circle lounge, is a welcome innova tion in motion picture theatrical design, and should prove popular. Senting accommodation in the stalis and dress circle is liberal, and although the seats have the familiar wooden "hot weather" appearance so noticeable with local theatres, they are in reality most
