Summary
Pathe synopsis: William Shakespeare would surely have approved of the Elizabethan-style banquet laid out for the benefit of American businessmen. Forty mouth-watering dishes, from roast sucking pig to Scotch salmon, are served up by costumed wenches, and there’s even pikemen at the door and a minstrel to complete the 16th-century atmosphere.
