The Eng- lish students gave a performance st the Central Theater which was at- tended by Queen Maud, the Crown Prince and the entire diplomatic corps. Next day the critic of the Dagbladet, an evening paper, wrote: “I have never witnessed such trash on any stage. I blush for English dramatic art,” and closed with: “How the Queen and Crown Prince could stand three hours of the performances is & miracle. Queen Mary is rarely seen at the theater. After th's her appearances will be even more rare.” wi IO for Loun Oled Suite! REGARDLESS OF AGE OR CONDITION Regular $119—Less $30 for Your Old Suite 2-piece Elzee Bed-Davenport Suite.
