| Performance Notes | "Support for Swift League Action
Albert Hall Demonstration
A national demonstration of unted British support for swift action by the League of Nations to stop the war in Abyssinia is being organized by the League of Nations Union...
Although the ALbert Hall meeting originally arranged last month was cancelled, it is felt that the developments of the past few weeks have made it more than ever necessary to demonstrate public support for the Covenant. The opportunity will also be taken to make an appeal for the British Ambulance Service in Abyssinia."
(18 October 1935, The Times, page 19)
"Sir Austen Chamberlain addressed last night a Legue of Nations meeting on Abyssinia in the Royal Albert Hall. Nearly every seat in the hall was occupied and on the platform were representatives of all political parties."
