She is so sweet, makes you feel so at home, that before you know it you are just naturally chatting about all sorts of things. There is nothing frivolous about Miss Bainter—she has good, common sense and lots of it. For instance, when I asked her about her favorite char- acters: “Topsy, In ‘Uncle Tom's Cab- in,’ wag always one of my favor- ite characters,” said Miss Bain- ter, “She is not so very differ. ent from Ming Toy (the role I play in ‘East is West), after all.

Topsy’s charm ia in her total unaffectedness; in the fact thta she just ‘growed up.’ It ts too bad more girls cannot be brought up just as Topsy was. They would be much nicer and much better for the world. “There ix too much advice be ing given all round—this eeems to be the age of advice.

One of her best characters was Flora Wiggins, in “The College Wid- ow.” She has not been West in more than ten yearn, * * Pe A mites ih tee, What Star Critic Thinks of Play | BY GLENN HUGHES ‘The romance of the Bastern world bloomed gorgeously last night, when at the Metropolitan theatre, Fay Bainter was seen in the opening per formance of the bizarre, poetic comedy, “Bast In West.” From the colorful, dream-like beau ty of the prologue to swift, exciting climax of the third act, the audience was charmed. The story held the in terest, the settings captivated eye, and Fay Bainter captured the heart. In fact, she is better than the play. With a magical personality, a bewitching voice, and a technique that approaches perfection, she is in escapable, Lightness, grace poignancy—these are the qualities which are blended so fortunately in her art. The plot is not essentially new. It is a tale that has often been told, tho | the present version has origina al touches.

That is succeeds in this pur. pose is indisputable. And besides entertaining, it delights, for there is pictorial beauty in the whole produc: tion, and a kind of wistful fragrance which ix hard to analyze. There should be no misunderstand. ing, either, regarding the quality of acting in the supporting members of the cast. Each person in the com pany is capable—highly so. And especially fine is the character work of Ralph Locke in the role of Charlie Yang. The part of Ming Toy (Fay Bain ter) is carefully wrought, and in her speeches one discovers not only a strain of poetic delicac delectable irony as well. discloses, for instance, that among the things she loves best are “music, moonlight, the stars, the Christian i, and—tar soap!’ A memorable jon indeed is Ming Toy, and it Is as Miss Bainter interprets her, who lives in our imagination when the play is over. There will be performances of st Is West” every night this week, with the usual Wednesday and Saturday matinees.

Gong said Chinese women are brought to the United States and sold to Hop Sing tongmen for $1,000 a head. These women, as well as white girls, are “placed” in the underworld, and $2 a week of their earnings paid by their owners into the tong. This money, too, goes into the rouble fund.” Bail bonds, bribes, fees and the like are paid out of this fund when occasion demands, according to Gong. TE KS GRAND JURY HOULD PROBE IT Gong at one time was a member lof the Hop Sing tong, he says, but withdrew when he learned the true condition of affairs inside the or- ganization. “1 think maybe the grand jury like to hear about these things,” he volunteered. “I have many wit nemwes to testify.” In a few years, he said, the Hop Sing tong has grown to a point where ite membership now outnum- bers that of the true Chinese tongs. His tong, the Suey Sing tong, has only 35 members in Seattle—an ex elusive organization of bona fide merchants and workmen. The Hop Sings, Gong says, are so strongly entrenched in Tacoma that other tongmen have left that city, “All the gunmen stay in Tacoma,” he said. “When they come to Seattle or go to Portland it is to kill some- body, then they go back.” Unless something is done by the authorities to break up the Hop Sings or compel them to live up to an inter-tong treaty—an agreement not to kill—signed here a month ago, Seattle will lose her best Chinese, “They all go to Vancouver,” said Gong, “where the law is different.” He explained that many have al- ready gone to the British Columbia port, where Chinese are forbidden to carry guns and where, if a Chinaman is found concealing such a weapon, he is sent forthwith to the periten- uary. This phase of the matter, the movement of leading Chinese to safer quarters in Vancouver, is drawing the attention of the China club here, as well as the Chanter 9¢:Cor of Commerce. be of the ony fines, lawyers’ Man Faces Charge Murdering Woman SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 10.— William Sheehan, teamster, will Plead today to charges of murdering Mra.
