Oscar Lichen, the tireless and won derful little munical director, had re hearsed hit actors and actorincft so thoroughly that there wasn't a single hitch in the whole three acts, and Dan , Butter, prompter, just had to ait there and do nothing. - The oath of secrecy also doesn't prevent us from remarking that I'rank I.atriiser is a handsome and dashing king; K. H. Strickler, a love ly Guinevere; Maynard Schwartz, a Valentinous sheik; Dr. Gladstone Derby, a knightly Launcclot. The other principals included George Long, Marcus Nielsen. C. R.
