Dear Mother and Father
The people here certainly went wild
over the Prince of Wales, Edward the
Eighth, during his recent visit mere.
I was very fortunate in being able to
see him after his visit to Trinity
Church. I stood directly opposite the
church when he came out. He came
down Wall street, standing in his car
and trying to show his appreciation
of the peoples warm welcome. From
the church he went to the Stock Ex-
change and then to the Sub Treasury.
l saw him leave the Sub Treasury
building and pass up Nassau street,
passing only a few feet in front of us.
The Prince is a typical little English
man. His hair is so yellow it almost
looked red.
We saw him again at the Hippo
drome, at the wonderful mammouth
musical spectacular play, Happy
Days" with its orchestra of forty peo-
pie and 300 chorus girls. The large
stage revolves so it isn't long between
acts. In a scene from Fairyland, the
fairies were swung up over the stage
on wires. Then there was the flower
@tore with its wonderful scenery and
the Hall of Colors. Hundreds of girls
in costumes of many different colors
end shades marched up and down
stairs lighted inside with many colors.
There was also the Book Store made
up Of large boxes five or siE feet high,
representing books by well known
authors. These books were stacked
one upon theother and different char
actors stepped out of the books: Mr..
Shakespeare, Uncle Tom, Red Riding
Hood, Robinson Crusoe, Madame But
terfy and so on, until hundreds were
on the stage, always singing. Then
cane a most wonderful scene-half of
tho stage was a great tank. Hundreds
eff people dressed in armor marched
down the stairs into water. disappear
cd and coming back. A girl divcd
from the very top of the building into
the tank.
After the performance the Prince
stood in his box and shook hands with
two hundred wounded Canadian SOL
dIers. He then addressed the audience
and babe them good night. l saw His
Majesty's ship, The Renown, as it
steamed out into the harbor followed
by its flying English flags.
