Shakespearian productions in recent
years have done so much to maintain
a popular interest in the classic plays
throughout the country, are making
active preparations for a massive and
spectacular scenic production of The
Comedy Of Errors" Only the largest

mails. pitchforks whips and everything
portable are made to dance to the steps
of a soubrette. A cardroom scene
above the stalls also brings out some
of the rough-and- tumble features in
the Hanlon production which are very
interesting, Now and then, as if to
stretch the limit of possibilities, trans
formations are introduced which daz-
