CAST STAY IN CASTLE.
FILMING HISTORIC PICTURE IN CORNWALL. One of England's most historic old castles, which was closed several years ago after serving as a hotel for more than 75 years, has been re- | opened so that Robert Taylor, Ava Gardner and other members of the cast and crew of M.G.MJs "Knights of the Round Table" might have a place to live. The castle is Tintagel, known in recent years as King Arthur's Hotel, near the tiny Cornish village of the same name. In the castle is a huge table, which, according to the legend, is the very one around which King Arthur and his knights once gathered. Since the village, with a total population of 450, has no regular hotel, arrangements were made to reopen the castle to provide quarters for the stars, director and some of the members of the crew. The overflow are being housed during the two weeks stay in homes of local residents.
