In my opinion it is asking too much .of . the ordinary mind; to bo expected to believe that complete change of this sort, 'involving iiot only, ■ different costumes, but also different make-up, can be achieved instantaneously,.; •; ;.J If two or three seconds had elapsed between one change afld r ajiqtlieri"uiy, credu- r . 1 lity would not havo been eo strained. BECAUSE IRE ALLY BELIEVE ':i that another woman takes some of the parts, - . t . j AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE , ■ . i support my view I am willing to donate tho sum of Pivo Pounds to the: Wound* i od Soldiers' Fund if it can be proved that I am wrong, provided, of course, that« your firm will donate a similar amount if: I am right.
