...theatre'-in fact, it's a PLAY, so let it PLAY; and because you are here, let it PLAY with you. Let it dart off and beckon to you from the distance, let it tiptoe back and snap its fingers under your nose, let it sweep up at you from below or pounce down on you from above, let it creep cautiously behind you and tap you on the back of the neck, let it go all around and over and under you and inside you and through you.

Doubtless the makers hope for future cash orders from Afghanistan, but last week "The Light of the World" did not so much as take a trial sweep in his expensive toy. What seemed to interest His Majesty most was a military review, during which Reichswehr troops first goose-stepped in mass formation and then staged a sham battle enlivened by dummy tanks, wooden howitzers and other substitutes for weapons which the Treaty of Versailles forbids to Germany...
