Thaw began well by virtue of the orchestral opening, •who playod in fine style. AsTio the picture itself—well. I've just come in from seeing it, and I'm still a little overcome.

The chariot 3?ace cannot be described. "SEE IT MY FRIENDS. EVEN IP YOU LIVE ON TWO MEALS A DAY FOR A WEEK TO MAKE UP FOR IT.
