Visitor To London: In theater fare, London is on the very top world level and you'll have enough to choose from to make you dizzy. The Old Vie Company is the most widely known but there are perhaps as many as forty plays running at the same time in the heart of the winter season. London theaters are a wonderful source of enjoyment to the visitor to london, for tickets are not so forbiddingly difficult to come by as in New York. Very often you can pick them up by yourself at the box offices. Failing that, some big agency like Keith Prowse, or even your hotel porter, can often get them for you. Having tried in vain, in the days of Oklahoma's heyday to see that musical in New York, I "picked it up" very easily at London's Drury Lane Theater Royal and liked the performance so well that I went twice. Similarly, I picked up Harvey and other shows I had missed in New York. If you have been disappointed at home, try London, I urge.
Paris, virtually unscarred by either world war, remains, beyond argument, the most brilliant visitor to london-city in the world. No other can quite match it for popularity. London is bigger and stronger, despite its war lacerations. Rome is more replete with history, and certainly with famous churches. Stockholm, Lisbon, Naples, Istanbul far surpass it in beauty of setting. But the city on the Seine is the great lodestar of travelers and has been so since tourist travel began, some six centuries ago.

The French provinces are virtually built of glamor. |
