some OF the remarks on the re-
lection slips.
One of these stories relates
the incredible adventures Of a
young prince whose father was
poisoEed by his uncle. There's
a young woman in IL who
browns herself. Worst of all,
there's a ghost on the stage.
Another story is laid I'm sopne
crackpot island where the boss
does things with a wand and q
couple of obedient slaves. Still
another relates how soldier
Smothered his innocent wife
with a pillow because he sus-
pected her of infidelity. This
yarn has got a crackerjack vii
lain In IL.
There's q rip-roarin' drunk
who Guns through several OF
these historical plays, and still
another tells US the tale OF q
coupled lovers who take
poison. In fact, that's about all
they do. And so on. i can see
