Many well known actors and artists

Albert Hall will be converted into an
open space in an old Spanish town, sur
rounded by quaint houses, the boxes
forming the windows. The orchestra will

but Mrs. Pankhurst cannot gather a
sufficiently large force to accomplish
the task. The aged Prince Christian,
