The portrait, from the Queensla,nd National Art Gallery, still hang on stage in the Albert Hall to -night during the B.A.T. production of Ibsen's "Iledda ,abler." It will be there as the portrait of Iledda'? father. General Gabler, and was chosen because of its likeness to the pro- ducer's conception of General Gabler. But the portrait Is actually that of a Queensland 'r. The B.A.T. ha. Insured the picture for f500.
