I am afraid It would not Lave got each favorable notices us were forthcoming from some, but not from all quarters. Alfred Sutro's play, *0De by Sir George Alexander at the St. James Theatre, on Thursday last, is one of those exercises in whimsical humor and philosophy la which successful dramatists ftel at liberty to en- gage. Chastity and Charity are the two virtues. Goeffrcy Panton. offspring of a wealthy tradesman, bad more money than he new what to do with. He fell In love with a pretty fool, who Jilted him for a prepos- terous poet. So he devoted himself to senti- mental regret, and the compilations of a tre- mendous history. His hair grew white. He affected velveteen coats, and, history apart, a kittenish irresponsibility and humor. Then the lady who had glltea him returned and begged him to rescue her husband, the poet, from the clutches of a naughty but very charming lady, known as Mrs. Guildford. In response to Godfrey's most uncomfortable exhortation Mrs. Guildford declared that she bad no use tor the poet. He bored he>-. She frankly admitted that she had had a troubled past And now she wished for peace, to de- vote herself to the study of—history ! Here was common ground with her Involuntary visitor. He was at home at once, vowed thai he bad discovered the longsougbt helpmate, and in spite of opposition of the most un- scrupulous kind from his society sister, he carried the day. Sir George Alexander and Martha Hedman play the Important parts quite well. From Mrs. B. G. Knowles, who was Wini- fred Johnson, comes a charming letter under date Buenos Aires. Feb. 17. She says: "You will be glad to hear that Dick is now making rapid progress toward recovery. He had a very bad time during the hottett portion of the voyage, the doctor being in constant at- tendance. He could eat nothing, and we were at our wits' end. Belief came from an unexpected quarter In the shape of a tin of baby food which was spared from the store of a gentleman aged two! Also there was a gentleman on board wbo had some prize hens ■which be was bringing out here, and he was kind enough to give Dick the eggs. Fancy, fresh laid eggs of such a pedigree in the South Atlantic 1 We sail for London again, on Feb. 27. on the Highland Scott" "See London" Is the name of the new re- vue at the Coliseum, due on Monday next. It is now said that Pa'il Rubens, the com- poser, is to become director of the Empire. iBieonora Duse says she wants to establish "a home centre, where ideal conditions of life may prepare the future interpreters of a drama, or poem, for their work." Edward Lanrillard, the moving plctnre man, has the English rights of "Potash 4 1'erlmutter," which he will do at the Queen's Theatre In succession to "The Melting Pot." Rumor places Nljlnsky's Palace salary at $5,000 a week. Phillip Michael Faraday says he persist- ently employs foreign composers because there is no English composer worth his con- sideration. This seems to be a particularly stupid statement on top of his two con- tinental failures. Seymour Hicks is writing another book— his experiences of the music hall stage this time. To-morrow night "Never Say Die" registers Its two hundredth performance at the Apol o. But now the end fe uear. Charles Hawtrey will next produce "Things We'd Like to Know" (the tlUe of a scan Jul column In a newspaper), by Monckton Hoffe. "Peggy and Her Husband" will be played for the last time at the Royalty on Thurs- day. It Is a rank failure. Vcdrenne and Eadle will revive "The Odd Man Out," by Harold Bughouse. Gertrude Kingston will take possession of her Little Theatre for an afternoon season, et Easter, to run a children's play, called "Brer Babbit," by Mrs. Percy Dreamer. Kenetm Fobs still runs the evening program, cf course. A second edition of "Hello Tango" is in active preparation at the London Hippo- drome. Frederic Smlthson has crossed tho Atlantic at the Invitation of the directors to prepare it. Meanwhile Shirley Kellogg Is 111, and has been temporarily replaced by Teddy Gcrrard. It Is understood that Miss Kcllogtr. who Is Mrs. De Courville, may be away some time—nothing serious! A company has been organized to take "Hello! Tango!" on the road. It will Include Laura Gucrlte and Sam Hearn. Albert De CourvUle, of the Hippodrome, says the day has passed when English pro- ducers need go to New York or Paris for Ideas. The boot, he added, Is on the other leg. ■Sir Herbert Tree thinks of Eastertide for the production of "Pygmalion" at His Ma- jesty's Theatre. George R. Sim's melodrama, "The Over Open Door,'' is to be revived Immediately at the Aldwych, where "The Queen's Cham- pion" has proved a failure. Richard Winslow has been restored to bis position as stage manager of tho London Hippodrome. Mrs. Laugtry hopes to s linear shortly at a West End theatre. In a ploy adapted for her by Sydney Orundy. from W. B. Maxwell's rovel. "Mrs. Thompson." Mrs. Thompson Is a clever business voonson, wbo Is nemiy brought to vnln by a tem- porary Infatuation for a clerk la her store. Mr. Maxwell Is a son of the famous novelist Mary Elizabeth Braddon. In the meantime, Mrs. Long- try Is appearing on the stoll tour, In a sketch called "Ashes." Jack Do Frace bas taken over the Savoy The- atre, Glasgow. WUklo Banl opens at the Palace Tom tre on Monday—bis artt appearance at this house. Genee i>ow says she will retire In June, making her farewell appearance at a performance for the benelH of Charing dross Hospital, much used by actors and actresses. But thereafter she Is to undertake a short American tour. Anil then, per- haps, she will farewell us soote more. G. K. Obeatertoa'a fantastic play, "Magic," was done for the one hundred and fiftletli time at the Little Theatre last night. Afterwards Kenelm Foes proposes to revive Shakespeare's neglected "Love's Labor Lost." with as old Eng- lish garden for the background of Its single scene. After two hundred and sixteen performances (a record) the Drury Lane pantomime was with- drawn on Saturday, la succession to "The Sleep- ing Beauty Re-awakened" Arthur Collins an- nounces a revival of "Sealed Orders," on Thurs- day next- Richard Parker bas fashioned a novel from the Drury Lane drama, "The Whip." King George and his Queen have been to see "The Land of Promise," at the Duke of York's Theatre. James Howell, the veteran manager, *o long associated with the Tlvoll, Is to have a benefit, nfry years ago he waa at the Polytechnic. Then, successively, he was assistant manager at the Al- hambra, the Palace and the Tlvoll. HI health recently Induced him to resign (lie last named post. Everybody knows Jimmy Howell, and every- body likes him. Philip Michael Faraday will not re-open Hie Lyric until April; then, with "Mdlle. Tralalu," words by Otoonskowskl and Freiburg, lu-isle by Jean Gilbert, tho authors and composers of "Tlio Girl in the Taxi." In succession to "Klsraot," Oscar Asclio will do "The Child of the Storm," In which he plays a Zulu chief; then "Antony snd Cleopatra." So great is the popularity of "A Mid-Summer N'lght's Dream," at tho Savoy still, that Ovunvlllc Barker hoe added a matinee per week. After a little hesitation. Arthur Collins hna again commissioned Cecil Raleigh and Henrv Ham- ilton to write the Autumn, drama tor Drury Lane. "Sealed Orders" comes to you for Novenitxr. "Kismet" was successfully revived at the Globe Theatre on Tuesday night, with Oscar Asche and Lily Brayton In their original parts. Oaryll Wilbur la due to arrive from New York to-day. Henry Arthur Jones thinks that the real danger to the theatre Is that the technique of the art of acting—the delivery and the deportment, which are equivalent to execution In music, and handling lu painting—Is a ulna; of the past. Fred Terry has had another short, sharp at- tack of Illness. Jack de Frece bas recovered $00 from a builder for Introducing to him Sam Mayo, the comedian, who bought a bouse. At the New Gallery Klneran, on Regent Street, they are running prize competitions for plots, not exceeding two hundred words, written quickly by the audience. At the annual council cf the Free Churches of England and Wales, the "physical and psychological danger" resulting front fin exeesslvo attualnn'.c at moving picture shows wes discussed. Resolu- tions were pasted demanding an effective public censorship, the restriction, of the attendance of young children and condemning Sunday shows. Eddie Howard, the crazy tumbling clown, played the Empire, Bristol, last week, with com- plete success, and was promptly booked for tho Bedford. Ilia prospects on this side arc good. Upwards of 17,000 has been collected for Tonty Stolen, the damaged Gaiety daucer. Gratvenor Hamilton, a survival of the famous family of penorsma entrepreneurs—Hamilton's Excursions—is dead. Al. Friend, of Friend and Downing, writes: "You bare no doubt beard that my sou. Mannle Friend, came Into a fortune of 1300,000. Mannle Is only lost six and a bait years old and does not touch the money until he Is sixteen years of age. There has been a good deal of talk as to Who Is the richest "pros" child. Mannle has proven that he Is top of the tree. I am training for my forthcoming match. 1 have with me. Willie Farrell, the coming lightweight champion of England, and my partner, who are putting me through a rough voyage. My bout with Hands- man Blake has left me with a bad eye, which the bandsman handed me free of charge." "I adore English audiences." said Lydii Ya- vorska the other day. "and I am proud that I hare woo my way Into their hearts. I think English very expressive—but I did not learn it In two days." All of which Is very Intensllng, and some of which Is very true.
