Drama of Hamlet, to
Hold an Anniversary

COPENHAGEN, June THE an
cient Danish city Of Elsinore, which
was immortalized by Shakespeare in
Hamlet" is to be the scene Of six
weeks celebration beginning on July
4 of the five hundreth anniversary of
the city's founding by King Erick of
Pommern, sixty-six years before Co
lumbus discovered America.
Elsinore has existed as fishing viii
lage for seven hundred years and for
more than five hundred the cannon on
hamlet's stronghold, Cronborg castle,
enforced toll for the king from passing
ships.
Thousands of ships each summer
used to stop at Elsinore, bearing ad-
venturers from all parts of the known
world. Among these visitors toward the
last of the XVI Century was Shakes
peare, who obtained while there the
legend of Hamlet, which he used in his
great drama of melancholy.
No able seaman of those days was
considered able until he had drunk
deeply of high-proof Danish liquor at
Elsinore and fought his man in some
brawl on the quay.

MOSCOW, U. S. s. R., June IA
month and half ago a party of fifty
