' VENICE—THE CITY BEAUTIFUL '
A Play written for Broadcasting by IDA M. DOWNING
Characters :
IN this is portrayed the dream of an English girl, spending a holiday in Venice. She is taken back to the ancient days of the city's glory, and views the .sights as they then were.
The action is laid on a stone terrace outside one of the large houses on the Venice Lagoon in summer time. The tide is high, and the lapping of the water is faintly heard. The calls of the gondoliers and their music is occasionally wafted across by the light Italian breeze.
