Com- frany was to have only 150 stage children du- ng tbetr well trained Maypole dance In cele- bration of the crowning of their King and Queen, their majesties witnessed, and the camera caught, thousands of volunteer sub- jects, each prettier than tbe other, their faces wreathed In smiles, and It made many an old fellow wish he was a kid again to Join In the frolic. No mishaps occurred and no kiddles were lost to mar tbla beautiful event. 1 * Parting of the Ways.
