One sight last week Mr. and Mrs. Kendal put on, at the St James Theatre, a play, well known to the provincial and suburban playgoers, but a novelty to Londoners. The piece was ErneBt Hendrle's three act comedy, called "Dick Hope." Briefly, the story: Dick Hope, Major Richard Hope, to give him his full atyle and title, Is a toper who appears to be beyond reformation. He has a great love for toe beautiful Marlorle Lyall, the moBt winsome of the dwellers In the pret- tily named village of Martyledene; but he pponea aa tticy stooa taming, has ii greater love for strong liquor.

The clerk then glanced at It, then said : "Hadn't your wife better be registered also?" At this tho little woman took up the pen and two lines below that of her liege lord she wrote, In small, cramped hnnd, lilj tel/e. This Inscription remained on the hotel reg- ister until for reasons, it wns erased by the clerk, but not before n score or more of the guests had Been It and had a good laugh over It. 9 Intoxication lias been described In number- less ways, Inugiiablo and otherwise, but one of the most amusing was given by a poor little Irish scrub woman a few days ago. Her condition of unintentional stimulation habit, would regain his self respect and would prove worthy of her love. And sweet Majorle took him at his word, and declared that If he would keep away from the drink for n year and a day she would reward him with her band. Dick was many times tempt- ed, but he remained steadfast and pulled through until close on to the completion of the teetotal term. Then he was suspected of a lapse, but be was agitated and excited by the discovery of the fact that Majorle, for lils sake, was about to sacrifice herself, and that her heart really belonged to the young vicar of the village, the Rev. John llemliig, who stood aside in his favor, and had given powerful backing to the lady in her efforts to bring a drunkard to the stool of repentance. Thus the play ends. The piny, while not a great one. Is well written, and provides Mr. nod Mrs. Kendal with good parts, especially Mrs. Kendal.

The trio Is work- ing East, and there la every reason to be- lieve their Western success will be dupli- cated here. weakness. It should be free trade all 'round There Is no doubt that places like the Coli- seum and Hippodrome have hurt the West End theatres badly. Well, let the theatrical managers cater better for the public. What can It hurt Mr. Tree If music hallB do a three hours' drama? Can they do It as well as he can? If they can he must give way; but they can't. Let them give musical spectacular shows If they can do It better than we can nt Daly's or the Gaiety, they will best us; but they can't On the other hand It must be free trade all 'round. If Mr. Tree wants to have smoking at His Majesty's let him have it If I want to have smoking in the stalls at Daly's let me. It will make me a bankrupt, that Is certain, but let me do It If I want to. I might like to be able to allow smoking In certain parts of the Gaiety which draws a different audience, so why shouldn't 1? But all this quibbling as to whether It shall be six or only five char- acters permitted In a music ball sketch, and If It shall be twenty-five minutes or only a quarter of an hour long, all this Is childish." The members of the Theatrical Managers' Association met on Thursday, but what waa done at the meeting has been kept a secret. However, the management of the Palace has been warned, and every one Is wondering what action will follow the production of the review on Monday next Adeline Genee has been such a draw at Daly's that she wlll continue at that house Indefinitely. When the Empire Is reopened, she will appear at that house In conjunction with her engagement at Daly's. The reopen- ing of the Empire Is slated for Oct. 9. Arthur Bourcbler will transfer "The Walls of Jericho" from the Garrlck to the Shaftes- bury on Oct. 2, in order to make room for "The Merchant of Venice" production, which he Intends to do at the former house on Oct 11. When "The Walls of Jericho" has 8a- lshed Its run at the Shaftesbury, Mr. Ryley, the. lessee of the bouse, wlll put on "Comla' Thro' the Rye."
