With the ever growing desire on the

limit to the calls for appropriate set

taken there is a wide assortment of
arms, ranging from Moorish cross
bows and bows and arrows to the most
modern rifles; there are even battle
axes OF the sixteenth century, Turkish
spears and spiked war clubs Of the
tenth century.
If it is to be gambling that is to be
shown then roulette tables, the exact

atmosphere without bringing those

make friends with humanity, broke
loose from his moorings. When the
camel came bearing down affectionately
on the little girl the little girl lost
forever all her love for camels. The
script Of the play called for such a
terrifying thing as a scene wherein
Miss Dean and & camel were to be the
sole actors. Miss Dean was even to
