During the Royal visit to the boat last Monday It was reported that Princess Elizabeth upent some time in the children's play- room sliding down the chute.

What was not reported was the met that the King also spent some time dcing exactly the same thing as hia

niece.

King Edward has always shown a king for doing the least expected thing when making a tour that bears the slightest suspicion of bring con- ducted

HARLEQUIN (1918)

His show, at the Leger Galleries, in Band-street, is called "Humour in Art" Ulle that invites the bird or the laughs.

Forbes gets the inugha, Not only do you laugh at the pictures when you see, them, but you laughi when you read what he calls them in. the catalogue,

is aut nrtist who plenses all of the prople some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but not all of the people all of the time.

And this exhibition, which includes work from each of his "periods," shows why. If you like your cubist Picasso there is plenty of that, if, ng I do, you prefer Picasso the superb d.aughtsminn,

there is plenty of inat, too.

Even if you don't like Plensso at all at least you can be impressed by somo of the prices asked for-and goi. The Harlequin on this page costs £1,050; a pastel.Woman in a blue hat," was sold for more than £2,000,

Yesterday the show was worth somic- thing like £20,000. To-day, when a rure "blue-perlod" pleturo in added, it will go up by about £4,000 or £5,000,

Picasso, let me remind you, is still alive, in Paris, and the French Salon would rather die than hang one of his pictures!

Recently, there was a Nazi meeting al an im in Upper Austria, Oulske the police walted,

A man came out, an he was ---------arrested_

But stm he can write: "I am no pessimist. A retrospect over, a period of eighty years brhigs conviction of steady progress in spite of periods of reaction and anxiety,“

"Oh, we've heard that one before," they sald, and look him off to fall just the same.

MUSIC

NOTHER fortnight of Covent Garden left, and the musical season will pack up until the Proms. Which isn't so long either. But within those two weeks two new productions are scheduled at the Opera.

On Monday (Whit-Monday at that and the darnedest day for any, now addition to an opera repertory), we att offered the Brst Rosenkavaller" for some years. Act I will be broadenst.

Not only is this the first "Rosen. 'kavalier" for some time, but the cust will have the hardest job ever to live up to the superb standard of previous productions

"Rosenkavaller" in this country -- and most others—means Richard Mayr as Ochs, Lätte Lehmann na the Prtu- cess and Elisabeth Schumann as Sophile.

Monday's performance includes agne al these artists. Mayr la dead. Leh- manu no longer sings at Covent Garden, and Schumaun secins, to have relired from operactivities.

IT WE be hard listen to opera without cast-pre- Judice, but I am willing to predict one thing about Monday's company......... that Tina Lemnitz will be a revelation ns Octavinh.

She has the looks nud, itto volce and the acting ability that few singers con ever havo hnd who attempted the part of this seventeen-year-old boy.

Remember that I told you about Lemnitz, Ono day she will be the most sought after soprano in all opere.

In Mayr's part, you will be able to hear Emanuel; List; in Lehmann's Elisabeth Rethberg.

Dear Sire,

Before leaving Hongkong, I wish to record my appreciation of the splendid resulta secured through_advertising in the "Post" and? the "Telegraph.

My experience of newspaper adver- tising covers the English and Australian Press, and I congratulate you on the "pulling: power" of your advertising columns. I havo crnover known quicker response nor a higher

percentage of sales from contacts. Every firin of chemists and the majority of stores in Hongkong have taken up "T1-Tree .011 Soap."

I would also thank you for the ready advice and assistance when I presented my credentials to you. It is indeed a pleasan experience to enter a new territory with auch an effective backing as that provided by your oxcellent organisation.

I shall certainly advise Australian manufacturers who propose to develop trade in⠀ South China to first soak your co-operation,

With renewed thanks, Yours very sincerely,
