Banff, the beautiful; Lake Louise, the wonderful; Field, the majestic; and Glacier, the mighty, are terms used by people who have remained sufficiently long to catch the full inspiration of these matchless resorts. Unique in their attractiveness, and alluring in their beauty, they draw their devotees from all parts of the civilized world.

Picturesquely situated on the very verge of the water is the Chateau Lake Louise, .where comfortable accommo- dations and excellent service are afforded.

To reduce the steep grade of the western slope of the Rockies, the line has been lengthened, and two immense LAKE LOUISE u LAKES IN THE CLOUDS** BANFF Banff, the gateway to the Canadian National Park, is the chief objective point for tourists, and without a peer as a holiday resort. The scenery in the vicinity is incom- parably grand and diversified. Mountain peak surmounts mountain peak; rock lies piled upon rock ; rushing waters and lakes, like gems among the roughness, give color to the scene. Charm- ingly situated on the south bank of the Bow River, near the mouth of the Spray, is Banff Springs Hotel of the Canadian Pacific Hotel System, which ranks among the finest found anywhere. LAKE LOUISE Of the beauty of Lake Louise there is no divided opinion; every visitor to its shores sings its praises, and it is acknowledged by the most competent judges to be one of the great masterpieces in Nature's picture gallery. As a gem of composition and color- ing it has no rival. Green, blue and purple shadows, and red-brown cliffs mix and melt. GIANT STEPS NEAR LAKE LOVISE 6 : ably situated and affords op- portunity for a delightful sojourn to view the many won- drous works of Nature in the vicinity. From the hotel it is only an hour's walk to the Great Glacier of the Selkirks, larger than all the Glaciers of Switzerland combined.

  • 1 the Public Life of a Twentieth Century Princess Princess Mary Princess Royal and Countess of Harewood Wendy Marion Tebble
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by SAS-SPACE 1 The Public Life of a Twentieth Century Princess Princess Mary Princess Royal and Countess of Harewood Wendy Marion Tebble, Institute of Historical Research Thesis submitted for Degree of Master of Philosophy, 2018 2 Table of Contents Abstract 3 Acknowledgements 5 Abbreviations 7 Acronyms 8 Chapters 9 Conclusion 136 Bibliography 155 3 Abstract The histiography on Princess Mary is conspicuous by its absence. No official account of her long public life, from 1914 to 1965, has been written and published since 1922, when the princess was aged twenty-five, and about to be married. The only daughter of King George V, she was one of the chief protagonists in his plans to include his children in his efforts to engage the monarchy, and the royal family, more deeply and closely with the people of the United Kingdom. This was a time when women were striving to enter public life more fully, a role hitherto denied to them. The king’s decision was largely prompted by the sacrifices of so many during the First World War; the fall of Czar Nicholas of Russia; the growth of socialism; and the dangers these events may present to the longevity of the monarchy in a disaffected kingdom. Princess Mary’s public life helps to answer the question of what role royal women, then and in the future, are able to play in support of the monarchy. It was a time when for the most part careers of any kind were not open to women, royal or otherwise, and the majority had yet to gain the right to vote.

  • A Study of the Management of Charles Kean at The
    A STUDY OF THE MANAGEMENT OF CHARLES KEAN AT THE PRINCESS’S THEATRE; l850-l859 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By BUDGE THRELKELD, B. A., M. A. **** The Ohio State University 1955 Approved by Adviser Department of Speech PREFACE When a person approaches a subject with the idea in mind of using that subject for the purpose of a detailed study, he does so with certain provisions. In this instance I was anxious to do a dissertation which would require an extended use of The Ohio State University Theatre Collec­ tion and which would enable me, at the same time, to do original research. The recent collection, on microfilm, of prompt books of theatrical productions during the nineteenth century provided an opportunity to explore that area in search of a suitable problem. The. possibility of doing research on the management of Charles Kean at the Royal Princesses Theatre was enhanced when tentative probings revealed that the importance of Kean*s management was recog­ nized by every authority in the field. However, specific and detailed information about the Princesses Theatre and its management was meagre indeed. Further examination of some of the prompt books prepared by Kean for his outstand­ ing productions at the Princesses convinced me that evidence was available here that would establish Kean as a director in the modern sense of the word. This was an interesting revelation because the principle of the directorial approach to play production is generally accepted to date from the advent of the famous Saxe-Meiningen company.
