'THE OLD VIC' is, of course, a national institution. It may be regrettable, but we persist in keeping the flag of Shakespeare flying in the two parts of the country least accessible to the West Endiof London—Stratford - on-Avon and the Waterloo Road. In the latter Miss Baylis reigns supreme. She has made the ' Old Vic' a household word under her régime. She is acknowledged throughout the Empire for her services to Shakespeare and she is well on the way to making that Empire's capital safe for Shakespeare's plays.
