No arUst Is allowed to return, and the orcibestra strikes up the next Item. There are sixty people hi the production.

That he can sing wns shown when he appeared for the flrst time In Melbourne, and that he can boi has been proved bj his record. He Is the wcltcrwelgnt champion of England and Wales, and has taken part In one hundred nnd twenty contests. Unlike the 'majority of boxors who take to the vaudeville stage, ho has not deserted the ring for footlights, as he Is willing to accept challenges from any- one his welglvt In Australia. He has already tnken part lu several contests in Australia and won them all, and negotiations are now going on with regard to a weltenvelght chnm-- Slonshlp match to be decided nt the Stodlum, ydney, under the direction of R.

In fact, the troiiide hns bcea f-or him to write enough to satisfy the demand.

Miss OrosBlcy has tmveled some since Him, and his nover been out of an j-ngncemnit. Australia alwa.vn gives her a Jiomely welcome. During a season that Laura Qucrltc, the fascinating and world renowned American comedienne, now appearing with brilliant Hucrcss nt the Tlvoll, Sydney, while pliiylog In America some time ago, and was "star- ring" In "The Girl In the Tail," she hod the misfortune to be associated with n cer- tain comedian whose behavior caused lilm lo be something of a bete nolr with Icidlog ladles: In the supper scene, Junt as thoy nrc nbout to toast each other, she cries oat, "My husband I" and Immediately puts ilowu her glass untouched. The comedian. In order that Miss Gucrlte should not drink the wine, was addicted to putting Into the glass, salt, pepper, vinegar or anything he could lay his hands nn. This the lady put.up wHh for some nights, hut on one occasion, when she noticed nim put some cayenne In her RinM, after raising It In the usual way anil ex- claiming : '-'My husband I" Miss Ouerlte threw tho contents of the gkiss over tbe lll-min- r.ercd actor. The lesson was certainly a salutary one, for the fellow no longer plays tricks like a hoodlum. Kerb sop. ■ An lDtorc9tlDgifact In connection with tbe ,T. C. WllUamson.
