Clipper Hurcn.ii, B South Buoare Gray's inn, London! W. C, Jan. 10. Blr George Alexander has hud to writo the Drat chapter of tho theatrical history of 1914 all alone, with his production of "The Attack," at the St. James', for there lias been naught else to record this week; nor is there any Immediate engagement on the critics' dairy. Meanwhile, the revue la "always with ua." The latest Is "Nuts and Wine/' at tio Empire. It was produced on Saturday night, and it 1b not quite so good m Its title. But tho faults of such a con- coction are apt to be capable of Improvement. The dominant flguro of tho show Is that of It, O. Knowlca, wiio made a record run at the Umpire twenty years ago, when he Ant ar- rived In England, but has not been there Klnco.

You can see the rosonrcnful comedian llllW this veracious sheet. There are six bcenca In "Nuts and Wine," which opens in uur historic public school at Bton, and gives n fantastic picture of life there, hut tho "beamish boyi" aro not being prepared for Oxford University—Indeed, for tno music hall which bears its name. Thore!■ .much imrlesqulng of current entertainments, in the Little "Tlheatw. "Babetto" made quite a hit. A good deal of tho music Is from tho pen of Molvlllo I. Gideon, and the production 1b by .lullan Alfred, so you will remark that Amor- Ira is pretty well represented. Phyllis Be- dells, tno new premiers itanseiiie aid some i-tepe "in imitation of Pavlowa." Madame •,md better hurry home, lest Phylls makes us forget her. There is a painful Beandol in respect of a proposed exhibition Illustrative of Indian life at K It was promoted by lt.'Caton Woodvilie, a well known artist, life at Barl's Court. whose work has boon moatly In depleting scenes of warfare and of travel for the Illus- trated papers. Queen Victoria and King lldward were always deeply interested In lils sketches, and used Invariably to.Inspect Ills collections at the earliest possible mo- ment Woodvlllo knew India intimately, iind meant his show to be realistic and in- liraate. But tbe government ofBctnls ob- jected to some of Its details as impolitic, ind delayed the exhibition week after week while they thought things over. Meanwhile i Mo show stood Idle, expenses went on, the xnall capital prepared waa exhnUBted. and ihere are meetings of angry tradesmen and . slarvlng nntlvcs. It is a oad business. W. C.

For upward of thirty years, he was musical di- rector of tho D'Oyloy Carte companies, at the Opera Comlque and the Savoy: quite re- cently on tour. When Carte built the Royal English Opera House, quickly to become the Palace Theatre, Frank Celller wnsappolnted musical director. He wrote a good deal, but as a composer bla fame was overshadowed hy that of hla brother Alfred—also dead— who wrote "Dorothy." Frank Celller was much liked. His son is the husband of Sir Augustus Harris' daughter. France Olossop Harris, and her partner in Shakespearean performances. They lately sailed for India. For n second time Jack do Freco and Will- iam Bdelsteln. Limited, have beca fined for carrying on an agency without a license. The County Council hag persistently refused to li- cense this corporation, for reasons stated, but De Frece, In hlB persons! capacity, holds a license. The evidence showed that the business De Frece does under his personal li- cense Is effectlvly handed ove.' to the offend- ing corporstlon. The magistrate warned De Frece that he had better quit tbe corporation to prevent mlaunderatandlng. Twefth Night waa commemorated at Drury r.sno by the cutting of the cako which la provided by monoy bequeathed a hundred and twenty yeara ago by tie actor Baddeley.
