...line dramatic critics have recently been aghast at the impertinence of the King's Way theatre in London in producing "Hamlet" in modern settings and modern costumes. In this production the melancholy Dane himself wore a well-tailored pair of knickerbockers. Ophelia went raving mad in the old regrettable fashion, even though quite up to date with a boyish bob and scandalously short skirt; and Laertes proved himself an adept at inhaling cigarettes.

S. trippers, itinerant golfers and English merchants seeking financial advice) you seldom see aught but Scotsmen, there walked last week a Chinaman and a Swede, a Dane and an Italian, a Swiss, a Greek, a Frenchman, a Hungarian, a Belgian, a Czecho-Slovakian, a German, a Persian. Americans were there. Colonials from Canada, India, Rhodesia, were there; swarthy sons, also, of Spain and of Hayti. Almost all pedagogs, they awaited the gavel-tap of the Rt. Hon. Sir John Gilmour, His Majesty's Secretary for Scotland, indicative of the opening...
