The offices which the lata 8lr Edward Mo*j. tilled have been separated, William Holding becomca chairman, ana cei , Frank Allen, becomes managing director. These elections make one thing clear to the understanding— the Moss Empire* 1*, m*an- whlle to continue In absolute Independence. There is no lnfu»loa of frcah blood, no hint •f a tomblne, no question of Oswald Htoii or anybody el»e coming In. William Holding Is a large **r*holder, and at the time of Oswald Etoll'a severance. wa» *n adrers* critic of his methods and policy. He Is a North coontry -brewer, much Interested In sport Bat be has scholastic and scientific attainments. He Is a barrliterat-law, and a bachelor of science. Prank Allen has from tbe outset been the general manager of the Moss Empires. For more than twenty years he waa Sir Edward Moss' lieutenant and trusted Intimate. He 1* sixty-one yeara *f age, kept slim and sinewy by horse riding and golf playing. He baa a charming manner, la accessible to artist* and much Uked by his staff. He was an official of the post office In his early life, and Indeed qualified for a pension before he left the civil service In order to ally himself with music ball enterprise.

Sir Edward Moss' fortune la esti- mated at a million and a half dollars. Ethel Warwick may have been a chorua girl, but she means her management of the Queen's Theatre to be distinguished. She proceeds, In experiments, from one ambitious writer to the other. Her new play Is from the pen of B. Macdonald Hastings. But, un- fortunately, he has not provided her with a worthy successor to his "New Sin." In "The Tide," produced at the Queen's on Sat-, urdav night, we have one more essay on the woman's Instinct for "mothering." Inci- dentally, wo have one more bedroom scene, but wholly lacking In sugrgestlvenesB. The curtain rose upon a darkened Btage. Fright- ened servants broke Into the luxurious cham- ber of a fashionable hotel and let In the sunlight upon a distressing scene. A lovely woman lay, apparently dead, upon the floor. Dr. Stratton, a distinguished nerve special- ist, retired from the active pursuit of hi* profession, was staving In the house, and responded to the cry for help. Somewhat ungraciously. Dr. Stratton restored Felicity Bcarth to consciousness and beard her story with cynical comment. Brought up by piti- lessly religious parents, Felicity inherited a large fortune at twenty, nnd for ten years madly engaged In pleasure. Weary of It all, Sbysfcally worn out, tensely nervous, she etermlned to kill herself, but lost conscious- ness In contemplation of death. A clever exchange of talk with the doctor only brought her to the defiant declaration that she would certainly make a second attempt. "Then, goodbye, and good luck," was. In effect, Stratton's retort. Felicity was tempted to add to her confession, During a seaside holiday in her girlhood she had blindly given wny to a man and borne a child. It was spirited away by her parentB. She did not know its location; she did not know 11* father; but the ?nother Instinct was In her. She lenged for her child always, always. This struck e deeper note of sympathy In Dr. Stratton, awoke a memory, and he made a bargain. If Felicity would go to a remote seashore village he knew of, live with nature and become again a healthy woman In body and soul, he would plcdgo himself meanwhile to find her child. So ne did Felicity's dnughtcr proved to be a vain, unsympathetic girl, who was frankly con- temptuous of her mother, and jealous, tool Felicity gave up the attempt to win hev love, but found solace In that off Dr. Stratton, The two characters indicated are finely played by Ethel Wtrwlck and Normnn Trevor. "Peter Pan" pays Ills ninth annual visit to the Duke of York'B Theatre this year. Louie Frecar, the furnous singer of "Sister Mary Jane's Top Note," was married thla week to a business man. After a few rehearsals, Hrnnsby Wllllnms peremptorily resigned bis pnrt In the Hippo- drome rci'uc, hut the variety theatres were quick to find bun dates. •A scheme to widen the Strand will soon render the reconstruction of the Tivoll Music Hall necessary. "Pebble* on the Itcach," which Seymour llleks produced at the Loudon Coliseum on Monday, proves to be a clever, characteristic duologue, with the Interpolation of nn animal simulation so lifelike as to be uncanny. Os- wald Stoll lias provided n costly nnd pic- turesque environment. Seymour Hicks, as Robinson, a sporting man, nnd Ellaline Ter- rlss, as a sprightly stenographer, were washed up, from separate wrecks, on a Taclfic island. The girl had hastily donned the uniform of a midshipman, and very pretty she looked. Robinson wore the ridiculously ragged remnants of a fashionable suit, in- cluding a battered silk hat. Their sprightly talk was Interrupted by a gorilla, magni- ficently done by Edward Slllward. Having In the mean time found a trunk laden with line clothes, the castaway* were rescued by [ a touring aoronaut. Th* fantasy provoked I hearty laughter and will be all right for Christmas. When the pantomlmo is withdrawn from Drury Lane, Forbea-Botertson will come In for a farewell season. He will play a reper- toire, mainly Shakespearean, but Including; *lw> "The Tssslng of the Third Floor Hack," "Mice nnd Men" and "Crosar and Clcopatrn." There is felt to be n curlcis fitness In tho choice of the National Theatre for what arc Hi lie formally Mr. Itobcrtson's last appear- ances on tbe London stage, though he will reserve the right to act on occasion. Hero Irving played his farewell round—Mr. Bob- •rtson's long time chief—and here his first B receptor, Phelps, contemplated his ndteux, ut a fatal Illness overtook him. Mr. Itobort- •on celebrates his sixtieth birthday shortly. He Is the son of an art critic, and wns dis- tinguished rsi a painter before the stage claimed him. His recent tours of America arc understood to have made him a rich man. An Intimate friend lately cstltnnrcd his fortune In excess of a million dollars. Speaking nt the emnin'i dinner of tho Actors' Benevolent Fund, Sir John Hare ■aid: "For nearly fifty Mtn I have been an actor on the London stage, for twenty-five years a London mnnagcr. nnd I can honestly ■ay that at no time during that long span of years has, In my opinion, the stage In this country been in so healthy n condition as regards the ability and promise of the younger men and women who act on It, nnd the litornry gifts of those who write for It."

Mr. Justice Neville, who heard Mencben's appli- cation for an Injunction, took a common sense view. "Why proceed with your strug- gle for a mere name?" said he to the de- fendants. "There must be others as suitable. What's the matter with "Sister Beatrice?

Both Tato lias had a kind of welcome home this week, to the London Pavilion, where she made hor first hit In London. Mrs. John Baldwin Buckstonc, the aged widow of a famous Victorian comedian, is dead. Oeorgo Rlgnold. whoBC death Is reported from Australia, visited the States several times. For ninny years he had lived In re- tirement by the sea on an Income provided by one of tho theatrical funds on which he had a claim. The Rlgnolds form one of tho most retnnrkahle theatrical families—deep- rooted through generations, spreading far and wide. George's first wife was an actress, Braybrookc Henderson. After her death no contracted a romantic marriage with 'Olna Coppln, their lifelong friend, a daughter of George Coppln, tho "father" of tbe Au- stralian stage. The laBt time I met Rlgnold lie mentioned a mutual friend—"where Is Charles Coghlnn living now?" The reply delighted him, "In luxury, but I don't know the exact address." A sudden attnek of Illness has withdrawn Lottie Vcnne from her work In vaudeville. Oswald Stoll line snnpped up the Follies for bis Chrlstmns program—no experiments, just their old show. Happy Fannie Fields has been condemned, In tbe law courts, to pay $200 and heavy costs to the proprietors of the Portsmouth Hippodrome, the amount of her snlnry agreed for a week during which she did not appear. Fannie has engagements with. Stoll covering the term of her engagements with the plaintiff company, at *500 a week. She Bald she was much too 111 to go to Portsmouth, but the manager for tho circuit, Paul Mur- ray, encountered her at a fnsbtonable restau- rant. The court agreed thnt Fannie wns 111 ell right, but not too 111 to have written a revelation of the foct that a sweet, clean piny, without Bemblance of the Impure, can be fouud In Paris. The supporting compnny was excel- lent. A little more polishing will smooth the rough edges of a first nlgbt production. Elalo Ferguson Is a charming Primrose; Harriet Otis Delenbaugh, as the godmother, was especially fine; Helen Fnlton made a decidedly svect little Sla- ter Donatlenne, and Arthur Lewis was a very human, warm-hearted Oardlnal; Frederick Trues- dell was a dignified Pierre. Sweet, wholesome, tender and pleasing were some ot tbe adjectives used by tb critics. "The Bound-Up" follows 13. Lvnio (James E.
