China has capitulated to the picture
giow. So much so. In fact, that Chi-
nese women now make attendance a
nodal event, to be observed with a dis-
play of their choicest and most beauti-
ful silks and most dazzling Jewels.
Instead of social functions at' home,
with tea and music and that sort of
thing, Chinese women who would be ip
fashion eat a large breakfast, adorn
themselves like a New York society
tvomafi bound for the bpera and sally
forth for a day of watching the films
flicker.
.“The motion picture craze In China,”
said Ernest Voung, who has been sev-
eral years in the Orient, according to
the Reattle Times, “now has reached a
point where the natives are demanding
an all-day show. The way the women
‘doll up’ 6t then* exhibitions ^ WSSl.1
send their faire^ sisters of other coun-
tries Into hysterics.”
Mr. Young said the Chinese motion
picture fans are strong for action In
their film enterlainment, and gladly sit
In a theater all day, providing there
are enough thrills to go around. The
mere shooting the merrier the show.
The Orientals, according to Mr. Young,
also are keen for comedy.
“Chinese audiences,” Mr. Young said,
’‘are very demonstrative and, when the
hero saves the heroine from an awful
death at the hands of some 'Desperate
Desmond,’ they give vent to their ap-
proval In rousing cheers and wild ap-
plause.”

velous how women who knew little or
nothing about growing anything before
the war have earned substantial sums
of money by supplying some demand.
