Dr. Mei Long-fang, internationally famous exponent of the Chinese dramatic arts, is booked for a limited engagement at the Metropol Theatre starting at the early part of next month. Portion of the receipts realized for such performances will go towards the Shanghai Municipal Council Refugee Relief Fund.
It will be recalled that during his extended tours in Europe and America, Dr. Mei made such an impression and won from the critics and public abroad such acclaims that no other Oriental artists could touch.
Local residents will not be mistaken in looking forward to his coming engagement, an all too rare opportunity afforded to the Shanghai public. What they will see and hear with Dr. Mei and his company on the stage will be representative of the best in the Chinese classical theatre.
