Among those taking part are:—Krylova, Eltzova, Shushlin, Kudinoff, Shimansky, Zorich, Markoff, Gravitskaya, Chumakova, Sinkevich, and Slobodsky, among the Russian community. It will be noted with interest, however, that two Chinese artistes are participating, notably, Mary Waung and Y. K. Sze. Maestro Sloutsky is conducting the orchestra.
Owing to the length of the production and the curfew, the curtain is at 8 pin.
