You must have about four well-known names in a musical play cast, and unless you can put a piece in a theatre with a capacity of more than £4,000 a week-and there are only four or five such theatres in London-you cannot possibly afford more than £600 a week for your four principals..

Perhaps the most import- ant question to be dealt with is. that of the popular jury, the importance and responsibility of which have been increased since the introduction of the death penalty. Moreover, several ver. diets and acquittals of late have not tended to increase the popu- larity of the jury in Fascist pub- lic opinion, so that it is quite possible that its abolition is en- templated.

Should the popular jury be abolished, says Prof. Manzini, a new organism must take its place to judge crimes of a very grave character. Two proposals bedn made: either the institution of the "Scubináto" or Court of Sheriffa, or a Grand Criminal Court. Should the first course be favoured, the judging element for the Court of Assizes would be 4 president assisted by two magis- rates, and twa citizens who would be called assessor's or jurymen. They would, however, have to be chosen from among the ranks of educated and cultured people, not at haphazard, as is now the case.
