European Comedy
Reunion in Vienna" is a deft
comedy Of that city which was
once the gayest of Europe. It's
story is that of a reunion given
for many of the old mobiles, re-
duced through the exigencies of
change, to lower status. Into
their midst comes an exiled arch
duke; also in their midst is the
lady who was once his mistress,
but who has assured both herself
and her husband that she no
longer yearns for the time when
she dallied with mobiles.

A most auspicious beginning Of
its week of repertoire at the Ma.

the Stratford- -Upon-Avon Shake

selection of THE Merry Wives of

To the present generation, at
least, performances of this classic
are far too infrequent, for its
requirements are such that it is
seldom attempted by the average
repertoire organization. To the
present company with it's high
