Or you can be ultra-modern and have your dresses and scenery designed in strong primitive colors by the latest word In artists, and your actors setting speed tostheir speech vulcu- lated to disguise the fact that it is blank verse, Therefore, it is a pleasant change to come to America and find that Me.
