Is Impossible. As the play puts it
"The dead hands reach back thru
the centuries and choke each new idea
and attempt" As a good Illustration
of this condition, comes the statement
of Mr. George Morlarlty, the Amerl
can league umpire who spent some
months in China, as follows:
"An excellent viewpoint of the
Chinaman's adherence to tradition is
expressed in a story which conies
from an authoritative source. Quite
recently, so the Incident Is related
the officials of an American company
which controls large interests in
China, decided that a number of two-
wheeled hand trucks were necessary
to expedite the Work on one of the
docks upon the Yangtze river. When
the trucks arrived, one was given to a
coolie who was instructed to go to
the end of the dock and haul back a
barrel. Soon he returned with the bar
rel hanging at one end of u bamboo
poke and tho hand truck dangling
from the other end. As the days went
bp, the officials of the company
learned that the trucks mysteriously
disappeared one by one into the Yan
gtze river, thus proving that the
Chihaman is not happy over the pros
pect of having his burden made light
er, neither will he allow ry nioden.

coolies fvim i!.e pi.y-rool."
Hearing in mind these statements of
a casual observer, and the common
Knowledge of the un-changir.g stub
bornness of the native beliefs, it is
not hard to understand an associated
press story which appeared in print
on April first concerning the trial and
conviction of a Chinese murdered in
California. It ran as follows: "Los
Angeles, Calif., March 31st. The soul
of Choy Den, Chinese contortionist,

villo theatre here, is doomed to un
rest. '"I no care one year, two year
any time you send me to Jail, alle light
just so I die in China.'
"With these pleading words as he
faced Judge Avery, he voiced the ter
ror of all faithful Chinese tho dread
of being buried away from the land
of their ancestors. Time was a tense
moment in the court room. Choy Den,
in his purple Mandarin garb, with one
eye shot away in a suicidal attempt
following the murder, presented n
grotesque figure. His lone eye pleaded
with the judge. Slowly the judge pro
nounced the sentence of doom to Choy
Den's soul life imprisonment in San
Quentln penitentiary."
It is from these curious turns in the
Chinese way of thinking that "The
Yellow Lantern" was conceived. The
plot is based upon these native be
liefs and the disappearance of a
treaty on the feast night. The hap
penings just before during and after
the loss of the treaty furnish three
acts replete with tense momenta and
exciting situations. Through an tin
usual plot runs the basic theme of the
story; the stubborn century-old super
stitions of this oriental land. Combine
this with nine tuneful songs and a
number of pretty dances, and most of
all, two score of charming co-eds and
the production has all the necessary
elements for an unusually intesv.-tim.
