SUCCESS GRATIFYING
TO AMERICAN CAST
This success must be especially
gratifying to the American company
for the reason that they certainly had
their troubles from the moment OF
arriving in England. They landed at
Liverpool while the recent railway
strike, which incidentally tied up al
most the entire London underground
system, was on, and when they got to
London had to take their baggage out
OF the train themselves and then be-
gin fight for taXis. which. because
Of the tube" stoppaEe. were at an
exceptionally heavy premium.
The hotel accommodation which had
different (for all the best hostelries in
the metropolis as we'll as most OF the
smaller ones, are hopelessly over
crowded.. so altogether their intro
duction to London was by no means
of the most joyous description.
Louise Closer Hale. who plays the
mother in the American play. tells me
that at the hotel to which she was
consigned she couldn't even get hot
water!
This is Mrs Hale's second appear
ance in London, for she played Miss
Hazy" in Mrs. Wigs Of the Cabbage

transatlantic piece here and In the
