There has been a courageous uuuvny In thu theatrical world—liret nights all the uine, a* Chough this were a normal first week In September, but It takei little to reveal the underlying nervousness, tor In- stance, business at the Coliseum has kept -p most remarkably, and last week "house lull" boards 'were often needed. Then, on buuday, i no London Timet published a scare uiauatcn, which set parliament talking, and caused quite a lot ox trouble. It was dls- v .tuiicd, but there was a terrible drop, and um Coliseum manager told your correspond- ent that the sallies of comedians who com- monly set the audience In a roar were re- n ..ud Jo silent depression. xou will be interested to hear of Ethel 1-eveys appearance at VVyndham's Theatre, uu I luesday, In serious drama, lor tne nrst ituiu. It came about this way. At tne club uud night (Hubert lieury Uavies told Gerald Liu iiuurler how much he had admired tne actress at the .London liipptxiromc, in "liullo. Tango," and added tuat he would like to write a play for her. Gerald l>u Uaurler said he admired her Just as much, and added "write the play for me, too." The result was "Outcast," which was produced at Wyndham'a on Tuesday, aud wnlch Is, Intrinsically, a disappointment, hi fact, Mr. Davis has not written so disappointing or so disagreeable a play. There Is not a character in It which commands real sympathy. LHi Maurler appears as Geoffrey, a young city man with no money, hut with tne anility, his friends think, to make a fortune. The author, by the way, follows his cus- tom of using but half a dozen characters, and merely indicates them by their hrst names—failed to inspire one person with conndence in his great future. That was Valentine, the beautiful, but weak and sel- hah girl to whom he was engaged. She had the chance of marrying a very rich, but otherwise repugnant person, and she did it, callously Jilting Geoffrey, &he gives no hint, throughout the play, of a redeeming quality. A man of ordinary common sense would have been gratefully rid of the jade. Not so Geoffrey. Ills manhood shamefully capitu- lated to bis disappointment. He drank, be doped. Ho became a pitiable and contemp- tible wreck. One night he whimsically took a strange woman Into his rooms for a drink. Sue was an American girl, who bad reached London by way of Monte Carlo. Hue ate hungrily, admitting, with a bitter laugh, that she was homeless and penniless. She told a conventional story of ruin, desertion and ensuing degradation. But she declared that life was still possible, because she had never yet failed to see its comic side. She ques- tioned Geoffrey and talked so sensibly to him that he was Impressed. And they struck up an odd friendship that grew. Geoffrey made his fortune all right, and he made Miriam his mistress. She got a kind of education, and a good style, She wor- shipped him, and. In a way, he was deeply at- tached to her—though he never regarded mar- riage as a possibility, for, technically, he could not forget that he was a gentleman, though at several points of the play be gave a most successful Imitation of a cad. Then Valen- tine came on the scene again. She had left her disgusting liusband, and wished to be- come Geoffreys mistress. There was a des- perate duel between the women, which left Miriam an easy victor. Geoffrey accepted an appointment la a remote country, taking Miriam with him—still as his mistress—for she bad read a prayer book, and appreciat- ing the sacraments, quality of marriage, de- clined, with tbonks, to become Geoffrey's wife. Miss Levey has a part well fitted to her stylo and method, In Miriam, and she played It finely. tAt the Duke of York's Theatre, on Thurs- day,, Charles l'l-ohman revived J. M llarrlc's play "Tbo Little Minister." The parts orig- inally played by Cyril Maude and Winifred Emery are now played by Dion Calthorp and Marie Lohr. "Bluff King Hat," the play Which Louis Parker bas written for Arthur Bouchlcr, was duly Installed at tho Garrlck Theatre last night It allows Mr. Douchler another opportunity of studying a favorite character, and is otherwise an oftectlvo picture of me- dieval life in nil gland. Bobert Courtncldge mourns tho loss of his wife, a sweet woman who, for years, has struggled against the ravages of consump- tion. She was the daughter of Cecily Nott, an old time favorite In comic opera, and or Sam Adams, one of the pioneers of reuned vaudeville; also, tho slater of Ada Blanche, Bddlo Blanche end Addle Blanche. All the girls were actresses from childhood. But In later life, Mrs. Courtneldge was the help- mate of her husband, particularly his ad- viser in costume. She had an exquisite taste. Mrs. Courtncldge was the mother of Cecily Courtneldge and of Charles Courtneldge, both members of the Shaftesbury company. She was known throughout the profession, and much liked. There is deep and wide t>prcad sympathy with her husband, who was devoted to her, Gertie Millar makes her first appearance In vaudeville at the London Coliseum, on Monday. She Is to sine some new songs but specially such old Gaiety favorites as "Moon. Moon I" "In Yorkshire' 1 and "Grandmama." She will be surrounded by tbo pick of tho Galetv chorus. Edward Itoycc, the Gaiety stage manager, Is rehearsing her. Mean while, the Gaiety Is closed indefinitely, also tho Adclpbl. At Daly's they talk of reviving "The Country Girl." uVcorge Bdwardes Is btlll a prisoner at the Grand Hotel, Nauhelm, In Austria. He sends cheerful telegrams, but the truth Is he Is much too sick a man to bear the hazard of a homeward Journey. Marie Tempest Is putting In two weeks at ths Umpire wits songs from her musical comedy repertoire, bat especially an exhortation to Join the urmy, entitled "Who's For Tali Flsg." Miss Tempest figured on taking a West End Theatre this Fall, to produce two new plays, one by an American author. But the Shuberts reminded her of an old promise to visit America, and .she gave way. "As things have turned out." ihe said the other day, "I am very glad I did so. Do yoo know this makes my thirty-first crossing or the Atlantic. I sang la opera in New York through six successive seasons. 1 lave America and the Americans. You Just can't slack over (here. tbero Is champagne in the atmosphere, And when vou know them, the Americans are so elemental —so simple, so sincere, so sympathetic. They are the best playgoers Id the world." Oyrll Maud* revived "Grumpy" at the New Theatre on Saturday night, first Issuing an appeal to the public to support him In a well meant effort to keep business going at this Juncture. The run will ba for a month; Mr. Maude sails for America the first week of Novembe'-. and opens In Boston with "Qronrpy" on Nov. 18. Alfred Butt has Joined Edward Laurlllard for the production of r, Peg o" My Heart." at the Coaiedy Theatre, on Oct. 1.

But Mlas Seymour Ik again appear- ing at the Queen's Theatre. tnlllp Michael Faraday is reviving "The Choco- late Soldier" at the Ljrlc Theatre to-night at reduced prices. He promises his profits to the lied Crosi Funds. Rutland Bsrrlngton now plays Lord Leonard Alcar. In "The Great Adventure," which reaches its six hundredth performance at the Klogaway Theatre to-night. "■ Arrangements for the production of The Yel- low Ticket," at the Prince of Wales Theatre, have been canceled In the meantime. ' So acceptable baa Sir Herbert Tree's revival of "Drcke" at popular prices proved, that extra afternoon performances hare bad to be put in order at Bli Majesty's. The profits go to make a futul for theatrical folks distressed by the war. Charles Haddon Chambers' adaptation of "Taute" has been re-named "The Impossible Woman," tor production at the Haymarket on Tuesday. Popular prices, here, too. "Tommy Atkins, s military drams, which had s long run at the Kast End, years ago, was re- vived st the Lyceum on Wednesday. After a long run at the Lyceum, "The Belle of New York" was transferred to the Aldwych theatre on Monday, and looks si though It might have another spell of popularity. -. • Elsie Junta leaves the rest of "The Passing Show," at the Palace Tliestre s week from now, and comes home. But she returns to the I'a'nct next yesr. Gsby Deslys succeeds her In "Ths Passing Show." . .._... Violet Lorraine has succeeded Ethel Levey la "Hullo, Tango," at the Hippodrome.

On the accounts of Its Just completed year, the Palace Theatre could v>sy 20 per cent, as usual, but It has been decided to pay tea per cent, only and strenctheo the reserve. _ Henry Arthur Jones says his play, "The Be- trayal.'' to be done In your city during the Fall, with Margaret Illlngton for Its heroine, by Sel- wyn and Woods, Is "strongly emotional and do- mestic." Before silling for America the Potts Brothers addressed this letter to their sgent, Collins, which has raised a storm of comment, and la much deprecated by other American artists: "We are sailing for II. S. A. to-day. Will you cancel sll our bookings In England? Not being white slaves, wo do not call for any co-operative business. May God keep the English pro. who has to sub- mit to such unfair methods. In conclusion, will say tba English managers can . . . . .

Phillip Michael Faraday, of the Lyric Theatre. his filed his petition In bankruptcy. He owes nearly S100.000, and reveals property st up- wsrds of 1500. It seems tbst "The Chocolate Soldier," his one great success, was overburdened with claims. Troupes of performing elephants touring the Con- tinent, have been seised by the belligerents and made to do the work of draught horses. At the London Coliseum on Monday, Margaret Halston, a dramatic actress, produced a sketch, by Cecil Clifton, called "The Golden Thread." It was a thread of golden hair found in the clutch of a dying man. A clever, cynical doctor. with till cine, found that the patient had not fallen. His wife struck bun, and, accidentally brought about his death. But she told the doctor snch s trsglcsl story of her married life that the doctor destroyed bis evidence and tend- ered her bis sympathy and bade her start anew. it Is rather over-strained, but fslrly effective. | NOT FOR VAUDEVILLE.
