The fact that Mr. Donald Won, having firmly established Shakespeare

Camden Town, besides being its essential self (which you may characterise as you will) is an important traffic centre. Tube lines which diverge there, north-bound, bring south to Camden Town all the suburban culture of Edgware, Hendon, Golders Green and Hampstead on the western branch, and Highgate, Finchley and Barnet on the eastern, and de-tube it (I follow the recognised analogy of de-bus) within five minutes' walk of the Bedford Music Hall, the scene of Mr. Wolfit's triumphs. If a poll were taken of his audiences I doubt whether any large proportion of the patrons would be found to hail from within half-a-mile of the Britannia and Mother
