Herald Du iiuurlcr is known In private life as a brilliant mimic, and would probably make a huge salary If be took up this line in vaudeville, At tbe Empire Theatre tbe other afternoon, Seymour Hicks sold, by Miction, seats for tbe performance given on Thursday, In augmentation, of tbe war fund. A foreign gentleman said be would give twenty dollars for a stall If Btbel Levey would sing "My Tango Girl" right away. She did. A little later came an offer of another twenty dollars for two more stalls. ir Wllkle Bard would sing "See. BhellB." He did. Then It turned out that the bidder was Du Maurter, who had fooled everybody, but especially Hicks, Who. however, got home last with, "why I Gerald 1 and we never thought you could act I" Lydla Kyasht made her first appearance at tbe West Bad on Monday since ber re- turn from America, where, she fell sick. Site has an engagement at tbe Coliseum, where she was announced to appear In a revival of "Coppella." Instead she did a now, shorter ballet called "The BncJinntcd Isle." Ills tells the story of a young nshermau who fell asleep by the seashore. lie dreamed that his nets ensnared a num- ber of nymphs, chief among them Kyaabt. They danced and danced before tbe enrap- tured youth, but when It seemed at last that he really had bis charmer In bis arms, tbe vision faded away. It Is a pretty fancy, but It is not, by a long way, tbe best ballet we have seen here, or In which we have seen Kyasht Max Penrbexton, the novelist, Is supplying the London Coliseum with Its next novelty, due a week hence. This Is called "The Bells of St. Vatolr," and depicts a romantic, not tragical, episode of the war. The hero- ine of the occasion will bo Jean Cavendish, the young actress -who made such a hit In "A Place In tbe Sun." It has quite escaped notice that the chief mourner at Cecil Raleigh's funeral was bis llrst wife, a popular novelist, who, barring divorced him, In due course contracted a mar- riage with a well known composer. She lound Rulelgh of an Impossible domesticity; but appreciated another side of his person- ality, and maintained a charming friendship with him. sincerely mourning Mm, no doubt, from that point of view. His second wife, who also divorced aim, was less complacent. HARRIETT IN OLD ROLE. George Barrett, the comedian, was called upon to rejoin the army during the early ctsses of the war, but has meanwhile been released, and la now playing bis original role In "Mhw Hook of Holland," at the Prince cf Wales' Theatre. "Mr. Wo," now at the Saroy, was played for the 400th time on Thursday night. When tho quarrel apropos "Tbe New Bhylock" reaches tbe law courts, we are likely to have some Interesting disclosures, for tbe Issae has broadened. Bchettancr's original grievance waa that Philip Michael b'araday had Injured bis piece by cutting oat some characteristic lines. Fara- day says he was scutated drat by a sense of delicacy, and secondly ty a desire to popularly the play. Bo far tbe quarrel is academic, Bat there are questions of breach of contract, the right to send tbe piece on tbe road, and what not. The feeling la that Mr. Bchoffaner has bad bard luck. Bat be bss been called to write and apeak a good deal on Jewish life and character, as a remit of this production. On Monday night "Tbe Little Minister" re- corded the one hundredth performance of Its f.T»»al" at the Duke of York's Theatre.

War or no war, we are to bare another Ins crop of tbe plays for children which, during re- cent yean bavo competed so strenuously with the Christmas pantomimes. For one tblng they do not Involve a heavy outlay, either In the way of salaries or ol production, for the stock la la hand. So, we are to hnve "Alice In Wonder- land" at tbe Saroy; "Peter Pan" at the Duko of Yorka; "Where tbe Itnlnhow F.mis" at Ham iiMTKraltb; "The Oockyolly Bird" at the Little Theatre, cud doubtless others. A burlesque of "East Lynae" ha, been Intro- duced to the clever revue, "Odds and Ends," at the Ambassador's Theatre, With Hanake, the Japanese, tragedienne as Lady Isabel. Thomas Hardy's dull and solemn Napoleonic play, "The Dynssts," was produced at tbe Klnus- way Theatre on Wednesday, by Granville Barker. Kthel Levey, who was understood to have In- spired the. writing of "The Outcsst." at Wynd- ham'a Theatre, gives no reason for suddenly abandoning ber part to Hilda Moore. Hiss Levey Is now on the Butt-Dcfrece tour, where shs cer- tainly gets much more money, "Never Say Die" did not Justify Its revival by Charles Hawtrey, st the Apollo Theatre, In super- vision of "Seven Keys to Baldpote;" so Charles Ilnwtrey las closed the theatre, and Is lying low till Ohrlstmss, when he will revive "A Message from Mars." Tbe situation Is rough on Haw- trey for he refused a very big offer for vaude- ville, from Stoll, so be might keep bis company going at the Apollo. Frederick Harrison revives "The Flag Lieu- tenant" at the Haymarket, to-nlgbt. Charles 1 lurid™ Chambers' piny, "The Impossible Women," which you knew in the States as "Tante." made a poor ltniiresBloa at the outset. Mr, Chambers' luck sums to be ont st home. Bobert Oourtneldge has come to town, sfter a ten weeki' tour of the blx provincial cities with "The Cinema Star," your "Queen of the Movies," He has dene flue business, which seems to prove that Here Is money in the trig industrial centres, sod that where there has been trouble it bss been largely due to the poor quality of the mad showa. Oourtnelife'a London Theatre, the Shaftes- bury, la closed, and he will not re-open It him- self, though ho would let It. He thinks of put- ting up ''The Otnems Star" at Ncwcastle-on- Tyne, for a run through the Ohrlstmss season, In opposition to the pantomimes. Quite s number of London theatres msy be had Just now. The rentals used to run from 11,000 to 11,800 a week. But they are going cheaper. Seymour Hicks thinks of reviving ''The Catch of tbe HctiBoii," In London, for twice-nightly shows, toward Christinas. Ellallno Terrlas, who Is now at the Collserun, with songs, may at Christinas appear In "Blue- bell In Fairyland." There Is a kindly feeling toward "Le Boa Mon- sieur Voetebeek," the French farce done by Bel- glau players at the Criterion. It Is, la fact, rather of tbe slapstick order, describing the ad- ventures of a wealthy Brussels tradesman In Paris, where he fell among a gang of crooks who promised to get him a decoration. The truth is, Belgium lias not got much In the way of a "na- tional" theatre, though our critics are apparently Ignorant of Ibe fact, and not too sure of their French I B. O. Knowles la putting in this week st tbe Mctoria 1-i.leco. At Christmas he comes to the West End. He hopes for a long season, with a picture ahow sad lecture. Gerald Grlffla has twenty weeks booked over the Moss tour with "Other People's Money," Iwglnnlng on Dec. 21. By the wsy, Mr. Griffin wis born In Staffordshire. Rng. Gns Onlaw Issues 'he latest proclamation to the effect that he Is American, bred and born, not a German, or anything else. Donald Ferguson, describing himself ss a "va- riety artist and taw student," his been bound over by a police magistrate to keep the peace, and ordered to pay (20 costs for assaulting Charles Ooborn, the veteran comic singer. The parties bad wrangled about one of the charitable funds of tbe profession, and Ferguson, calling ui«n Ooborn at tbe offices of the Variety Art- ists' Federation, threatened him and arrack him. A Jewish farrier sought 1:100 from Shirley Kellogg tor a set of sables. Hiss Kellogg sild she never really bought Ibe sables. She talked them over with Iho man, and he left them. Tbe Judge could not see a definite order, and dismissed the claim. SOME DOG ACT. The Dattimorg Btar, dated Dec. 8, said about Itochlcr't acrobatic dogs: 'Among the many good acts, none produces •, stealer icnsatloa than the wonderful Spits dog or Itochlcr's animal troupe. This marvelous animal, wltb an almost human Intelligence, al- lows Ms master to plsce blm In all sorts of poses and even takes pleasure in his work.
