They are at times em- ti'oved up '.o a very late liour, and then have •■- "travel u long distance'to their homes. Moreover, It liua been found that when tbey are emnloved on tour by traveling companies ihelr education! la frequently neglected, and I..iIters seriously. Another decided evil of the present nyat»m Is that when application Is made for the magistrate's llivus■• the child lias to attend the pollco court, and ninny rntrplnlnts-hare "been made to the Council's injectors to the effect that while In tho roiirf a child fs' exposed to distinctly con- t-.mtaatlng influences, both from ihe nature nf the cases beard and from-the had language beard In Thai, about the' court'. If these children are'to continue to be subject to licenses. Instead of coming under the general law as to child employment, then all the ar- rangements nhoiild be in the hands of the founcll and Its Inspectors." , Lord George Sanger, tho well known Rug- Itch circus proprietor. Is disposing of his fbow, after hnvlng been In the business for over half a century- la some of the pro- vincial towns, the coming of his circus was one of the events of the year, villagers tramp- log mres to see the golden chariots and tho. marvelous performances by the animals. On more than one occasion he was commanded to appear before Queen Victoria, and anions bin most highly Valued possessions Is a splen- did silver cigar box-.bearing I lie Inscription j •'Mr. George Sanger, from V. It.. Windsor Cn'lle, July 17. 18911." ' From King Edward he has received a magnificent diamond ring of unique design. At yesterday's meeting of the London County Council "Licensing Commute the Su- burban Theatres' and Managers' Association opposed tno Oxford Music Hall license on tbe ground that a piny, "The Belle of the orient," had been i-crfonned. nbd that the l,ord Chamberlain's and tbe fa. C. C.'s regu- lations that smoking must not be permitted In premises used for dramatic entcrtaln- mlrjts bad been rlolnted. It was stated that during the last month thirteen undoubted stage plays had been performed within the Council's Jurisdiction. Mr. Payne, y/ho said, he represented thirty-two music halls, argued that It tho theatres felt that smok- ing was" an attraction they should get - a li- cense, from the Lord Chamberlnln without tlfat restriction. An anomaly which .music hall proprietors considered unfair was that new theatres had, as a matter of right, an erclse license, ills final argument lor the sKoteh was that It had raised, the tono of the hail?, and had resulted In the profitable em- ployment of a large number of people. After the committee bad deliberated In private the cli.ilrmnn.sald that the committee had de- rided to renew the license. They did. not In- tend to espouse the cause of either the the- atre of the music ball, but tbby desired to make !t--clear Hint any breach of the law wna»a matter they must take into serious slderatlon In every application. for n II- (•ense, though each case must.be judged on in merits. The London Hippodrome asked for. the removal of the restriction.that no Intoxicants shall be sold, but the application was refused,, asilt-has been- many, times.be- fore. Some people out. Shepherd's Bush way, principally women; objected .to ,tho- llccnso being given to the New Empire Palace, on the ground that the line of natrons waiting for tho doors to be opened Interfered with the traffic of the people living In the neigh- borhood of the hall. Despite the opposition the license was renewed. . ■ Jennie Jacolu Informs' mo. that Cooke and Clinton opened on the.-Moss k Stoll tour w.eek of Nov. C, at the Olympic, and-that Collins and Hawlcy, who" conclude tonight u.month's stay at' the Palace, axe to go on the same tour, commencing at Liverpool, 15. -Herbert Lloyd and his better half were cdllers on Friday. They came from Paris on Thursday, Mr. Lloyd closing a successful en- gagement at the Albambra on the last day of October, and are leaving town today for I'.rlghton, where they, put in" the week of Nov. 6. at the Hippodrome. Mr. Lloyd tops the bill at that house.. Ou the Monday fol- lowing "the jack of all trades, master of none' r goej on the circuit controlled by Moss & Stoll, nnd will bo nt the Hippodrome In February for an eight weeks' stay. The Kaufman Sisters open at llonacliera, Vienna. Dec 1, a long continental engage- ment, llotli young ladies have records to be proud of, especially Itebn, who, tit the end of the present month, will have been at tho Al- hambra just one year and three months. A year ago last .September "The Prluce of Pll- seti" company unbilled Its run of several months at the Shaftesbury, nnd Miss Kauf- man, who was a member of the company, was Immediately engaged by tho Albambra, management to. do her dancing specialty la the vaudeville portion of the hill. She was very successful, unci her time was prolonged many times. Miss Kaufman and her sister. Inez, were then given principal pans In the ballets, "Kntente Cordtule" and "My Lady >'lcotlnc,"and have oeen highly complimented by press and public for their artistic work. The young ladles could hare remained at tho Alhambrn another season, hut tho vaude- ville field offers big • Inducements, which < , ou | d not he overlooked. They will bo sadly mlrsod by the frequcuters of the lieautlful Oriental home of ballet and rellncd vuude- .VlUe. Senator Frank Bell called early In the week. He has thirteen weeks on the Moss A: Stoll tour, aud opens at Cardiff Nov. 115. On tbe name date tho clever musical duo, ltnckett and Hazard, begin tho tour, nack- ney being their starting point. ' . . Walter J. Plllunier, the agent. Is In town Iioklng for acts for America, principally for the houses of tho Empire circuit, I believe. Be has also a few American..acts up bis *to«vo for engagement on this side of the water. Mr. Pllnimor called one day early in the week; and exorcssed himself as being .very satisfied with the outlook. The "In Dahomey'' Co., In which Avery and Hart were the stars, closed Its season a few'' weeks ago. mid the clever comedians ►ailed.for America lust Wcdnnsdny. , McPliee aud Hill opcaed successfully at tho tPpporirouae, Wlgau, last Monday, They have thirty-two weeks solid t-oklng, with a lint London engagement nt the Hippodrome, and will undoubtedly add more time before many weeks have elupsod. A notable bit Is being mndo this week at the Empire, Stratford, bv the colored singing Htid dancing comedian, Harry Brown, with his quaintly rendered songs, "I'm Hatlslled' tod "Ob My." The present Albambra bill Is replete with new offerings of the most enjoyable type. In the first place there Is a new Spanish scenn. entitled "Lueerlfo." It Is mounted in the customary fashion of the Alhambrn min- agemunt. I wan In tbe sudlfr.ee on Wednes- day. Mnrla La P.elln. who plays.the title rote, came before the curtain six times. Be- sides tho two ballets I be bill Included : The "Ten Loonies," Edna, "the whistling girl;" Flllson We?h, Joe lioganfiy's ncrohits, the Raiimdos and some new p'cturcs. "xbo tVwihles" are appearing for the first time at the Alhambrn, nnd the night I was present their act. which Is called "Dotty," was very warmly received. Edna looked very charm- ing and whiffled In n clear ptid sweet man- ner two popular selections Tbls li ber for ... possesses a tenor voice or -very blah range. Ilo oume In for a' good round oi. applause, and he ccrpdnlv d«- scr.ed it. BogsnhT's "j«ny bakers" 'linve Peep ou the programme a long time, but their act continue* to go as well as ever, which Is very big. •••flic frbaiiora" bio- scope uifcred aoaie new and most Interest- ing pictures. One depicted the Whllstsblo i"/.T tl I r . 'ntmstry. and a-comical picture, en- titled "A City M!tn':« Buiy Day." The latter snowed, some new light effects' that I tin re never seen before. -The Urbanora" picture* are nlwn.vs very clear and up-to-date, nnd tire, according to my way of thinking, the best In London. New tbst the novelty of the Luiplre Is wearing olt tbe Alhanihra Is nguln doing big busltiess. A "looping the loop" Ret was one of th» features of the Palace bill when 1 was thoro (■a luenlay. On the stage was erected u big wheel, with a broad Oat rim, on the Inner surface of which tho performer, Tom Oraves, mounted a bicycle, taild to weigh tweuty- seven |Kiuiids and geared, to one hundred and tUrtl. The wh«| was set revolving rapidly, the "evellst mnlntalnlDg tils position nt the bottom by hnnl pedaling. When ho had attained a sutllclcnt mnuientum he al- lowed ulmself to bo carrl.il backward and upward aud then, r'dlng down the slope at Ins hardest, against the wheel, attempted to climb tho other nldo and cross over so as to complete tho circle. After nianv failures he successfully looped the b>op, aud, baring c " <, e got up .-iifllrleiit speed, he spun round the Inside o the rim a dozen or more times. The loop, from Ihe front of the house, struck mo as hiving m> groove. Millie Llndon was also a newcomer to tbe present bill. She Introduced two new songs, "The Silly Little Brahma Hen" nnd "In.Ilarcelona." In the latter song, which bad a special stage setting, Miss Lindna had. the support of the Palace IRrla, The song Is very calchy nnd, ?ung In Miss Llndon s inimitable style, was one of the hits of the tfiow-. The audience didn't want her to stop, although she snng more than tie usual number of verses. The other Item? on the programme, Collins and Haw- ley, Regan and Ryan. J. P. Ling, Mile. 3n- T t l ? , " , J 1le Indies, Terry and Hentley, and •The rnlace Itcvlew." have been spoken nf «"fore. I must not forget to mention Cuero- r L ,, ' l 'n n R P nn, "h dancer, who Is appearing Tor the first time in London. She mnde n favor- able Impression. • Sailing for Sonth Africa today are: Pa- plnla nnd her brother. Oeorge W. Hippie. Halsy Alajrer. Herbert Rule, the Alaska*. Mudgo nad Mortort were nlso to sail, but the ■Mama of the former prevents them sailing today. Mr. Mudge called early In the week and said he did nol feel vofy well, hnt ho thought he would he all right by sailing time. They will sail a week from todny It iir. Madge's health will permit. Here is an agreeable bit of news. William I-.verhnrt, the iflmncis hoop manipulator, ami Mlnola Mada Uutst. the. young lady-who made the Magic Keitle famous on the con- tinent, were married lu Copenhagen. Oct. ".">, Mr. Kronau, the manager of "Tbe'Hon'In Blue," was the best rann, and Mrs. Kronau was maid of honor. "Tlie Hoys In Bluo" at- tended the wedding In full uniform, and were a sort of guard. . Tho marriage cere- mony was performed by the Rev. A. V. Storm, lu English. The American ambassador, his wife nnd daughter, the American vice consul, and about twenly-fivd 'other Americans wit- nessed the ceremony, and were present at the banquet which followed at the' Hotel Bristol. Among the manv presents were a handsome sliver set from Mr. and Mrs. Kro- nau and "Boys In Illuv;" elegant toilet s-t from Mr. Kverhnrt's two "liovs;" and many others from- friends la tbls country altil America. Mrs. Evcrhart received two dia- monds from her husband, and the latter now has n (llainoud cluster, with n pigeon blood ruby lu cenrrc. rhe gift of Mrs. Ererhnrt'a mother. All the Copenhagen papers had big accounts of the happening, but us theso ovg In the Danish tongue, 1 have been tumble to decipher them. A cartoiin lu ono of tho papers Is very funny. It depicts Mr. und Mrs. Krerbnrt leaving the church, while ou all sides are acrohuts, performing seals, jug- glers, and, In fact, all kinds of nets that go to make n vulalcvtlle jdiow. It Is called "En nydelig Forestllllng." which, trnnslntcd, means, I bclieYc, "A Fine Performance." «»» • . .'' rmsaattirjoaA.
