In "Little New Moon" Mrs. Rilev has created something entirely dir'ferent from her other plays. She has used in its construction and in direction of its production, a knowledge of methods used in the Chinese theater, gained in course of her residence in southern California where she owns a home and where she spends several months of the year. She · employs in her play's production the Chinese method of seeking to tell a story sympathetic to the ideals of the audience, by actors with spoken word and bodily action, upon a stage, before an audience. It will carry a symbolistic stylization by which the Chinese present their plays. With employment of this method, where stage settings and other features are largely to be imagined · by the audience, the latter is required to ·take part in the play.

To provide this service it has enlisted the· savings of hundreds of thousands of investors. In addition to its oblieation to the public it has an obligation to its stockholders. The only sound policy which will meet these obligations is to continue to furnish the best possible service at the lowest cost consistent with financial safety. Earnings must be sufficient to assure the financial integrity of the business. Anything in excess goes toward extending the service or keeping down the rates. Safest of all ways to cleanse Eyes.
