Herded in Garage
Thirty three prisoners wers
herded together in a filthy garage

no sanitary facilities in the building
and guards frequently failed to take
prisoners to the latrines. Despite the
fact that two Of the strikers we're

The floor Of the garage was thick

An adjoining store room was alive
with rats and mice which kept the

"The strikers were threatened
with summary court martial in an
effort to break their spirit, and the

The scene for the pretty, colorful
affair was laid in a garden setting
with trellises entwined with roses,
statuary and a garden bench. The
playlet in dance opened with Mary
Ann, little Marian Joyce EdelStein,
appearing the garden. She dis
covers the flowers, a troop Of daisies
seated on the stage, moves about
touching them, and finally lies
down on the bench and goes TO
sleep.
In her dream a fairy prince.

are taken away by a band Of elves
who have become charmed with the
