In response to popul: Lynn and Oliver Lan ed to give ances of their very suecessfu t the Lyceum Theatre tonight and tomorrow nicht. The decision is a wise one for not only will the Central British Wer Fund benefit considerably, but an opportunity has been given those, who were unable to obtain seats when they learned from the Press and common report how good the show was. to see one of the most remarkable productions that has been staged in Shanghai by, for the most amateurs. Full houses have been a feature of the production and there should be little difüculty in filling the Lyceum Theatre for the other two shows. One fact emerges from the outstanding success of *XCDN Calling," and that is the existence of a large amount of amateur talent in Shanghai so much of which has been left untapped for so long. There seems justification for the suggestion that those who in the past have been responsible for the production of amateur entertainment have mot been so energetic in their search for new blood as have producers of this particular show, and there is room for wondering whether even more could not be discovered by further search. The success of the two editions of "XCDN Calling" and the production of Edward German's "Merrie Eng-has clearly shown that the Shanghai g public will support a musical show once it knows that it is a good one, and those responsible for these three productions are to be congratulated upon the artistic successes they have achieved, the fine amounts which have thus become available for the war funds and the all round pleasure they have given. It is to be hoped, therefore, that those who have not yet seen the show will make every effort to see it tonight or tomorrow. They will not only have a good evening's entertainment but will be helping swell the money sent home to assist the vi tims of the war.
