most unknown composers. William

Rarely now is tinker to be found

quently there is a gypsy caravan that
has entertainment as its objective, if
in a less heroic manner In place of
flddlers and the ballad singers of old,
there are the cinema trains. Two or
three wagons carry everything that is
needed for the showing of motion
pictures, together with the domestic
establishment of the staff. From one
little hamlet, too small to have
theater or equipment for even occa-

on to the next. Officer O'Reilly' is

That story values are more i'm
