iousts where the loves of Ivanhoe and the
Fairie Queen were enacted over again. In

romance.
The hurdy-gurdy of life is too practical,

and flowers and music and successes.
Probably enough has been seen and heard
of it already. That it was a success,
financially, artisticaIly, socially, everyone
knows. Therefore we will give it rest.
