One of the nst>cra surMonly burst Into tie business xnanag«r's office with the jiewi "there's a row In the stalls, and a l oliceman has gono In.' When the business n:flue«cT hastily arrived, ha found that the lonrpMnlng couple and the policeman were all on tho stage making Iiarmt.ny with various landbella, directed by t'rwl Jx-slle, Ale* id \" J. C. Williamson Ltd. are making nrrangenjents In connection with their next Christmas pantomime, which Is to be "Cin- derella." Same Important engagements Have keen made In the way of m lists and spejlal- ties. It wiH be good news to those who have teen Barry Luplno, In "The Forty Tuleve*,' to learn that the roan-agcroont have exercUed their option on the services of Mr. Luplno fur the Cinderella j-nnto., which, by the way, will be produced by Charles A. Wentnan. Tim stay of Fred Nlli'o and his eh iriulng \»ife, Josephine Cohan, In Australia, Is (-•wlftty drawing to a close. They leave Aus- tralia for America In August. The American idea of a backing for a Fong Is that If Eomeone Is singing about a fo the next best. As lr. the caso of the Gone Greene eaTopetttloiw, the audience w:ll M the judges, and competitors gaining the most applause will be accorded the rrlics. Bill* Fields, the clover tlient humorist, now performing at tho Tlvoll, Sydney was Interviewed a couple of days ego by the writer, end asked how many actual tricks l:e does la the course of his performances. '•Gee," lie raid, '-I'm hanged If I know." mil hi asked his brother, who nets as his assistant. And 9)19 assistant said "lie.!." too. and .hat was as far as he got. Then Mr. Fields went right through bis act there In his dressing room. Some of the tricks dovetail, as It were, until they seem like one long trick. They are all separate Items, the details In the detailed account, and they all lad to be practised, and practised, and practised until they were perfect. It has taken Mr. Fields seventeen years to bring his show up to its pre&ent standard. The trtck of the stick and liat alone took two years of that tunc. He explains that it Is quite sin'nlc to balance a stick on 1be forehead, but not so easy when one foot Is off the ground, and a bat Is being held on that foot, and still leas easy when PLEASE!!

Ills icccsitsB**. the Governor, Lady Mcilrv_> Strickland and their daughters are t> be present, and oth.-r leading members of society. It docs not fall to the lot of many vaude- ville artists to break record* in the takings of the theatres In which they appear, fa this respect, however. Ada Reeve, during her short stay In Australia, has i cm remarkably successful. To begin with, ler open in.; was £25 better than the best house known at the 'llvoll Theatre, Melbourne. ,">n her second appearance, Hosier Monday n.cht, sb> broke the record by CtO, and when ine cue] of the week came it wa^ foun I tha; the takings f-ir tho six dnys were far ahead of any others tor a similar period. This remarkaM'.' nir- n fs of Miss lleevo has mart than Justified Ihe enterprise uf 11. D. Mcintosh In hrlnglug tils clever artiste to Australia. Comi.no out in the White Star Liner Runln to Australia. Jimmy Athlone (of the Three Golden Athlones, now at the Tlvoll, Mel- bourne), and his two partners, were very popular with the ship's company and officers, and also with the passengers. Kvery morn- ing they held a physical culture class on deck, and even the captain of the ship took part In these exercises, and all expressed themselves as being much benefited thereby. Vaudeville "stars" have peculiar hobbles. We have had la Australia ladles who keep tame snakes, breed bulldogs, cuddle tiger cubs, or have a cat farm. Ada Reeve has a most Insipid hobby compared to these. It Is growing cocoanuts. This she does In Portu- guese Fast Africa, where she and her hus- band have a plantation. I'.very year she makes It a practice to visit the place, the trip being her annual holiday Daisy Jkkomk. the Uvc-wlrc comedienne, administered a well-deserved rebuke to a nvr- tinaceous member of th? eurtltiKO at n per- formance of "Come Over Here," at Her Ma- jesty's, Melbourne, one night during the week Sealed close to the front, lr. the rc*;rv.-d stalls, n would-be hnmoilst constantly In- terrupted Miss Jerome, who, In the etsrse. -t her customary lltt!'! speech it the c;osc of her performance, sharply reproved tho of heredity.
