Masks have played a big part in the history of the drama. Today in Japan and other Eastern countries masked players are still to be found. In England, however, the first modern presentation took place only last April, when Mr. and Mrs. Passavant gave a show in a London studio. It was so popular that regular performances are now given. Little speech is used, and when it is it usually comes from the lips of an unseen narrator.
