Foreign
Office—however was

ment level talks were not able to

SUNDAY PLAYTIME 10-PIN. Fab. 26:

LONDON.—It was a good
thing while it lasted but it won’t
be long now until the final gong
sounds for -the “Oriental” plays
and musicals that have been churnin0- their way across some of
the°West End stages for a year
or two.
That at least is th? belief of
Yvonne Shima of Toronto who is
doing her bit as a nice girl who
works nights in “The World of
Suzie Wong.”
It’s a bit hard to say: how Miss
Shima who is 24, and Japanese
Canadian, feels about the coming
end of the theatrical vogue for
songs and sin in an eastern set­
ting. On the one hand, she is thor­
oughly aware that the stage ver­
sion 'of “The World of Suzie
Wong,” whatever you thought of
the novel, is a stinker.

to 112 beats per minute when
she changes from western dress
into a kimono.
Sparing no details in their re­

from Japan’s continuing concern
about ,the number of women
changing from traditional to
western style of dress.
While almost all agree that the
kimono is too restrictive for a
working -woman, - it is still pre­
ferred by many for home-life and
nostalgically a favorite for many
social events.
The kimono also has an im­
portant place in Japan’s economy.

cent remain as kimono specialists
today.
As a result, a campaign to re­
popularize the kimono has ap­
peared in some quarters, includ­
ing manufacturers of kimonos
made in traditional styles from
modern synthetic materials. Says
a spokesman: “We advertise the
washable synthetic kimono for
business girls. If they learn how
to wear the kimono and discover
its beauty, they will eventually
develop the desire to buy better
and perhaps expensive kimonos.”
