"Unplesant Experience” During India Tour

TWO young actresses in the London Revue Company, which was billed originally to play in Singapore next week and whose visit has now been cancelled owing to "serious illness," abandoned their parts during the company's run in India and left Calcutta for England.

They are Miss Joy Carter, 18-year-old daughter of a London civil servant and Miss Florence Willis, a 20-year-old Devonshire girl.

According to the Calcutta correspondent of the Daily Mail they told him before they entrained for Bombay that they had endured an “unpleasant experience" and had been forced to complain to the police.

MAHARAJA'S PLEA FOR ARMY

Calcutta,

An outspoken speech by the 21- year-old Maharaja of Gwalior on the need of a strong defence for India has attracted considerable attention. The occasion of the speech was the laying of the foundation stone of the new barracks for the 1st Gwalior Lancers

"It makes me shudder," said the Maharaja, "when I hear some politic inns in this country talk of the desirability of reducing the strength of the army in India. I wonder how many of our people realise the real extent of the weakness of our coun- try's vast land and sea frontiers against the danger of attacks by watchful, hungry and angry rival nations.
