Story of Bali, Indonesia

The old, pale faced man with bushy white beard and moustache, who continually drops from fatigue, and peers uneasily on himself and around himself for vermin; the palate less Arab with Semitic nose and fez, who lisps in bad Malay; the brown-faced, huge-nosed, white-eye browed pedanda, with great dropping teeth, whose exaggerated mudras are punctuated by comic gestures and whose ritual bell passes with Alice in Wonderland logic into the bell of an ice-cream vendor; the snub nosed, short grey mask who shakes with inward laughter at nothing at all, and sets his pop-eyes quivering; the two homosexuals who bloom and wilt in fairy coquetry, counter pointed by the gusty zeal of a cheery hundred-per-cent male; the yellow, furrowed, eyeless mask, who blows about like a leaf in a gale, almost failing, but never quite-these are only a sample of the masks which may appear at one performance.
