AN OSCAR WILDE DRAMA

A new manuscript by Oscar Wilde has recently come to light, and is Leing published by Methuen. It iv a scenario, written with all his enjoyment in words and sense of colour, of a fantastic play of Burmese life. Peacocks and elephants, dancing girls and royal and splendid umbrellas, contribute to the spectacle. The story, indeed, is all ready to the hands of Parkes and Fokine to be turned into ballet of charm. It has the title "Yor Love of the King," and it will appear on hand-made paper in a limited edition,

Text read from the printed page and cleaned; old type leaves the occasional error.
