Preposterous statements are made as to the succession to Sir Edward Moss' control of the vast undertaking which bore his name. To one a flat denial may he penned right away—namely, that Walter Gibbons will be- come chairman and managing director of the Moss Empires, Limited. When Mr. Gibbons retired. It was with no intention of a return to active interest in tbe music hall enter- prise. He got out with a fortune of amar- Ingly ample dimensions, and can afford a life of leisure It Is an open secret that Oswald Stoll Is now the dominant Influence In what were once known* as the Gibbons halls, and will In due course avow bis responsibility. So far ai the Moss Empires are concerned. when Sir Edward's disease was diagnosed some months ago, It was perfectly clear that the end of his business career had come, and the affairs Of the Moss Empires have mean- while been conducted, carefully reckoning with this fact It Is more than probable that Sir Edward's lifelong friend and loyal lieutenant will become chairman and manag- ing director of the Moss Empires. But no Immediate appointment can give finality to the music hall situation, which is in s curi- ously Interesting state. We are undoubtedly on the eve of Important developments, and the perianal animosities of certain "mag- nates will play an Important part, ai they always have done in the negotiation of any combine. When all la said and done, there is no more Important factor to be reckoned with than the masterful personality, the suc- cess, and the strong financial backing of Oswald Stoll. His stockholding in tbe Moss Empires, In spite of his retirement from the board a year or two ago, is very large. Nine times out of ten, old playgoers will recognise In the "new and original" cemdel- ettss of modern vaudeville a more or less Ingenious adaptation from one of the Innu- merable farces which John Madison Morton contributed, mostly to tbe Adelphl repertory, half a century ago. And what Morton owed to the French, none but himself knew. "Box and Cox" was his best known work. It was a combination of two French farces, "Frlsette" and "La Chambre a lit" It has provided Charles Hansen with tbe material for an amusing, but potentially vulgar sketch, "Share tbe Room" entitled, and produced at the Lon- don Pavilion on Monday. Mr. Hannen's In- genuity has found a vent in giving the story a Scotch environment—several members of the "Bunty" company contribute to a fine performance—and in making one of the alternating lodgers a woman. A canny Scotchwoman, running an apartment house with tbe characteristic "concealed bed" made familiar by Graham Moffat hat a lodger em- ployed on the night shift In a newspaper office, sleeping;, accordingly. In the daytime. So she lets the room for nights to an un- attractive spinster, employed all day. For months neither party suspects the double deal though a censorious neighbor declares It to be scandalous. One night the male lodger, being HI, comes home unexpectedly, to find his entrance barred by the strapping landlady, while tbe female lodger, hearing an altercation, utters piercing shrieks in her cupboard-bed. ■ The censorious neighbor ends the situation by insisting on the marriage of tbe parties, there and inch, by the Scottish method of declaration before •witnesses. . Alio at the Pavilion, on the same evening, there was produced a little comic opera, en- titled "The H'arum Lily." It Is beautifully staged, and the music of Paul Llncke is very charming. Bat the story Is not very re- markable. Marino and Marietta ore vaude- ville duetttsts. Marietta is captured in tbe interests of an amorous pasha, whisked away to the East and enclosed In his harem. He proposes to make her his chief wife. In hot Eursult follows Mario, who penetrates tbe arem, and Is condemned to Instant execu- tion. Also a vaudeville agent who Is much more clever. He pretends to be an astrologlst and proves that the life and happiness of tbe pasha depend absolutely on those of his astral brother, Mario. The result la that Mario and Marietta are allowed to return to Lon- don, with a contingent of pretty guards- women from the harem, whom they propose to employ as a vaudeville chorus! Vesta Tillev comes to the Palace for a Christmas engagement, which promises to be annual. George Fawcett has acquired a sketch from Horace Annesly Vachcll, the novelist, and got to work with it at tbe Shepherd's Bush Empire, on Monday. It is entitled "Sunny Bushes," and exploits Mr. Fawcett aa a Western settler who has had to work hard, sacrifices all, and to borrow the last possible cent In order to win success. Just as he Is on the verge of a vast fortune, a rascally money lender steps In. But tbe settler Is desperate, nnd does not hesitate to show his gun to the enemy in order to secure an equitable ar- rangement The sketch is concisely written and dramatically effective. Mr. Fawcctt's personal performance is fine. A little ballet entitled "The Dresden Ideal" Is in preparation by Alfred Butt, at the Palace. Paul Clnquevallt, completely restored to health, opens at tho Victoria Palace on Monday. Some one has thought It worth while to claim from Louis Meyer proprietory rights In the play title, "Where There's a Will." Meyer is contesting the claim. Arthur Bourchler has a foolish habit of sneering at the critics. He once tried to ex- clude them from a first performance. After the last performance of "Find the Woman" (originally "The Third Degree") he said that once more the newspapers had attributed tbe success of a Garden production to fine act- ing. He begged to Inform such writers that fine plays were the necessary stimulant of fine acting. "Beady Money" greatly amused the young Prince of Wales, holiday making from col- lege, nt the New Theatre the other evening. Louis Meyer has acquired a play entitled "Mr. Wu," originally written by Harry M. Vornon, but re-wrltten by Murray Carson. He will produce It shortly. The action alter- nates between London and Foochow. Mr. Carson, wbo used to be an actor. Is a can- didate for Parliament. Daisy Jerome sails for New York by tbe Ccdrlc on Thursday. She opens at Milwau- kee on Dec. 30. Oswald Stnll'B newest Hippodrome, at St Angiistlnos, Bristol, Is due to open on Mon- day. At an Imminent meeting of the London County Council the question of Sunday pic- tur; shows will be considered. There has been a preliminary Inquiry by the theatres and music balls committee of the council, which recommends that: No pressure shall be brought on servants to work on Sunday: that they shall be assured of a day's rest per week; that performances shall be given between the hours of 0 o'clock In the evening and 11 only; that they shall not be for pri- vate gain, and that the management. shall be In the hands of a recognized charity. The recommendations of this committee arc only a basis for talk, and may be rejected or amended at large. "Pebbles on the Beach" is the new title selected for the Hicks extravaganza dne at the Coliseum on Monday. ... . George Bernard Shaw says that Dublin U "a city of derision and invincible Ignorance," He was born there 1 On Saturday night "The Dancing Mistress" was done for the fiftieth time at the Adelphl "Everybody's Doing It" the Etnpire revue, was transferred to the Apollo Theatre on Monday. In association therewith that trag- ical playlet "After tbe Opera," Is done. Tbe season Is directed from the Empire, but it can be but short for Charles Hawtrey is due here a month -hence, with the Bevercnd "George Birmingham's'' play. "General John Began," entitled. Meanwhile Mr. Hawtrey successfully revived "Where tbe Bslnbow Ends," at the Garrlck Theatre, on Wednesday. Moat of the women filling Important parts In tbe Hippodrome revue, "Hello I Ragtime 1" are American—Shirley Kellogg, Ethel Levey and Bonlta. „ , ___ James and Elsie Finney sail for South Africa toward the end of this month, to play the Hyman bouses New comers to the London Hippodrome on Monday are: Van Der Koors, Illusionists; Maglnl, violinist, and Yorke and Adams. After a trip to the provinces the American Ragtime Octette are again In town—at the London Hippodrome and the Empire, Fins- bury Park. , . Sir Edward Moss was personally respon- sible for the Christmas carnival. In the nature of a street fair, held for so many years In the vest Waverley Market, Edin- burgh. It it to take place this year, aa usual, under the direction of W. Campbell Mime, the general manager. Ellda Morris made a most successful first appearance at the Alhambra on Monday. Peter' Adair, who used to be a trapeze per- former of some distinction, now devotes him- self to long distance walking—be has circled and crossed the British Isles. He began on Thursday to make a 860 miles record, being seventy years of age. -At the Alhambra, on Tuesday afternoon, there was a private show of a most wonder- ful film, exploited by rathe Freres—a play, finely acted, based on Victor Hugo's "Lea Mlserables." The Interest of an extra critical audience was engaged for nearly three hours. Alfred C. Calmour, tbe dramatist proves to have left rather more than 25,000. Wallace Eddlnger must needs return to New York, so his place in "Officer 666," at the Globe Theatre, will be taken to-night and henceforth by A. B. Matthews. Lord Dunsany's poetical play "The Golden Doom," Is to be superseded In the Hsymarket triple bill by Barnes' "Rosalind," released from the Duke of York's.

Humperdlnck will himself con- duct the first performance of an orchestra numbering ICO. It was not found possible to get satisfactory pictures nt Olympla, so Mr. Menchen used the Castle of Krcuzensteln, and tbe Cathedral at Petcbtoldsdorf, for the backgrounds of his plcturea.
