I A MASTERPIECE COMING. -0 Lord Howard de Walden I On Welsh Drama. Speaking at the Welsh matinee in the I A Ihert Hall, Swansea, on Thursday, Lord Howard de Walden, who wa:; introduced to the audience by Ytr. Aeron Thomas. J.P., Doigoy, vras accorded an enthusiastic re- ception, all the more cordial because lir. Aeron Thomas had explained (in Welsh) the keen interest which the distinguished visitor has tp.kan, and is taking, in the development and fostering of the Welsh drama. He did not know whether the addre-s v- ould he in Welsh or English. Lord Howard de Walden said lie was afraid hi" few remarks would have to be in English. He might open with Mr. Cadeirydd, roneddig'?an a Boneddi?ion —(lend cheers)—but that was, he feared, a?ut ns nr as lie could snceesRfnUy go. (Laughter and applause.) The last time be )o tbe-,P was when, with Dr. Gran- ville Bantock, he came to Swansea to urge and encourage them to foster the Welsh drama, in its oarly dovs. They had a long struggle' at the start, but he was delighted and proud to find that such progress had been since made. (Applause.; The Welsh drama had gone on by leaps and Ixumds, and seemed to have almost left them behind. (Applause.) He was certain that there were great things to wit 11 the movement. ( to He did not think thoy on~ht to compare these performances with what was pre- sented in the English theatres, because it was a. very different thing., and lie did not know that he would advise th"111 to at- tempt to follow the English drama, wmch had become corrupted in some lespects. Let them rather fellow their own natural and native instinct. (Applause.) Great works would come. The Welsh dramatic genius which, they hoped to see might arise at any time, and if not so soon a.s they would wish, then let them not be dis- couraged at all if they did not actually secure a Welsh masterpiece in a year or I two. (Loud cheers.)

THE OLD POTTERIES, I  S ?teresting Finds Dunng S?n I Fuel Co. 's Excavations. Doubtless there are many old people in Swansea to-day who can recall the j time when the Swansea Potteries WNC in full swing, and remember the situn- i tian of the works in the Strand. The fact that fragments and one or two in- tact pieces of Swansea china have been unearthed in the excavations that are taking place on the site at pmseut will therefore he received with interest. A "Leader". representative visited the spot on Friday and saw Mr. Vowles, of the Sun Fuel Co., whose works are situated on what is genera'lv known as thp old r, Mr. Vnrb!< c Oiid-cd our reprr .rotative to the portion j v' here Specimens wero fQlmd, and where discing is still in progress at a depth of i about ten to twelve feet. AN OLD DUMP. The pieces of china ware .protruding j from the sides of the deep cutting, and their conglomerated appearance, seemed to suggest that this was a portion of tho old factory used as a dump for defective or fiawed pieces. Yet the plate and bowl tlv.it Mr. \owles secured seemed to I be perfect specimens. The variety of the patterns on the fragments was in- teresting, and the Leader man col- lected in a moment six differently-pat- I terned fragments and one or two bits of real willow-pattern china. Some of the I ware was unglazed, and others, possibly I hand-painted, rubbed off at the lightest I touch. 5,70,000 DEVELOPMENTS. I Asked the reason for the extensive ex- cavations and the presence of building material, Mr. Vowles said that the Sun Co. were embarking on a big programme I of developing the works, and the instal- lation of £ (50,00 or £ <0,000 worth of modern machinery (manufacturing and i dispatching, etc.), which would make the works one of the most up-to-date in Wales. The present excavations were for the erection of new brickers, and the works when finished would be encircled by a railway. Everything was being arranged for the great purpose of expeditious dispatch, and had'it not been for the recent labour troubles the work might have been completed bv March, 1920.
