English Like Pantomimes Englishmen in exile seem to cling to pantomime as tenaciously as to plum pudding, writes a columnist In the Manchester Guardian. When the Resolute wintered In the Ice at Melville Mel-ville island in 1S32 Christmas was celebrated by the production of a pantomime, pan-tomime, which had the novelty of being be-ing played entirely for the fun of the performers. There was no audience, for every member of the crew took part, with the commander. Sir George Nnres, starring as Columbine. In ISTu, when on another polar expedition ex-pedition In the Alert, Nares "reopened the Royal Arctic theater" after it had been closed for 25 years, and pantomime panto-mime was again the favorite pastime of all concerned.
