AUCIIONEER :

Lot 666 then, a chandelier in pieces.

Some of you may recall

zo Graae

the strange affair of thePhantom of the opera,

a mystery never

fully explained.

V/e are told, ladies andgentlemen, that this is

the very chandelier thich

figures in the famous disaster OuI work shops have rest0red itand fitted parts of it with wiring for

fte new electric light, so we may get

a hint of how it may look

when re'assembled. Perhaps we may frighten away the ghost of so many yers ago with a little illumimtion, gentlemen.
