CRYSTAL PALACE.
Crystal Palace is housing large audiences with "Stago Madness," the William Fox special. . The story is based u£on the romance of a celebrated French dancer who placed her hopes of a career before her duties as a wife and mother. The opening episode is in Paris, where Marcia Ferrand, about to quit the stage for domestic life as the wife of an impoverished artist, gives a farewell dinner to her companions. Pierre Doumier, a famous impressario, tries to persuade the beautiful young dancer not to abandon her stage career, but his pleadings fall on deaf ears, and Marcia marries the artist, and leaves the ballet. Prior to the screening of "Stage Madness" a talented corps de ballet, under the direction of Miss Iris Montgomery, presents a brightly coloured terpsichorean introduction, which creates just the right atmosphere for the picture which follows. Included .in a fine supporting programme is the first of a series of pictures depicting episodes in the lives of the great Music Masters. The first picture of this series deals with the events which led Mendelssohn to write his immortal "Wedding March."
