The audience, summer people from Dublin and Antrim plus a few wandering Bostonians, was scarcely more anonymous than the cast.

...Joseph Aloysius Lyons and Canada's William Lyon Mackenzie King under the 1931 Statute of Westminster are just as much the King-Emperor's advisers as England's Baldwin. Invited also was Ireland's gaunt Eamon de Valera, who refused to attend. In Dublin's St. Stephen's Green day after the Coronation a Republican bomb blew the 178-year-old statue of George II off his horse, ripped off both bronze arms...
