+. c. Whitney. in connection with whom
the English production is to be made
also requests Tom McNaughton for his
original part of the grotesque tragedian,
Roland. a role that has been a real
scream in The Spring Maid ever since

Jameson Lee Ffnney, Emmett Corrigan,
W. A. Norton, w. J. Ferguson, and
