Thejr don't mind them coming, but they hate taking them back home. July 3 will see the inauguration of a motor transport service, which will, It Is hoped, supply the de- flciencies of the other means of "getting back." The Samuelson company, who also make films, will run a service nightly from the Al- hambra. They will also bring Al- hambra-goers in and provide a re- served stall for the sum of eight shillings and sixpence, as well as taking them home. If the experl- THEATEICAL OUTFITTEES 1680 Broadway New York City^ THEATRICAL ment succeeds with the Alhambra it will be carried to other theatre*. "The Barnstomers," a company of players engaged by a syndicate, with Ernest C. Rolls*as managing* direc- tor, should have opened at Cardiff June 12. They rehearsed in London for three weeks without pay of any kind. Sunday, June 11. the day on which they should have traveled, some received telegrams sent late the night before canceling the train call, others traveled to the London terminus only to find that all ar- rangements had 'fallen through. Among the artists engaged were Morris Harvey, Oulda MacDermott, the Royal Welsh Ladles' Choir and Misses McCann and Kitty Trevor. Action will probably be taken, but, unfortunately. It can only be a civil case. Terrible as it might be to the "West End, the night clubs and dance halls," the matter should be In the hands of the police. Manchester will see the produc- tion of the Oscar Strauss musical play, "The Last Waltz." It will open on August Bank Holiday and will run in the Cotton City for six weeks. The star will be Jose Col- lins, and Blllle Leonard will also probably be in the cast. After the afii: ' Sale Now In Progress «» i> Our 12.50 French Footwear Reduced to SJ.95 .

Sybil Thorndyke. in association with Mary Moore (Lady Wyndham), will begin her season at tne New July 25. Her opening piece will be a modern play by an English author, the promlbed production of HenrV Bataille's '"Le Scandale" coming during the autumn. She will also do a series of matinees of Greek tragedies, including the "M^ea" of Euripides and almost certainly "The Trojan Women." vaudeville favorite, will be In the cast, which Is largely composed of what might be called the C. B. Coch- ran revue stock company. Sue Harvard scored an emphatic success at her first London appear- ance at the Wigmore hall Isst week. She sang in English, Welsh, French, Iti^lan and German, and took Lon- don's high-brow musical world by storm. Teddie Gerard, having recovered from her recent indisposition, re- turns to the cast of "A to Z." It is definitely settled that the "Co-optimlsta" finish their long run at the Palace July 22. Before reopening In London's West End they will undertake a provincial tour. Maskelyne's, the "home of mys- tery," which has Its own clientele and is little advertised or even heard of by the general public, closes July 15. The need of a summer vaca- tion Is tne reason offlcially given, but the magicians have no more escaped the slump than have their lefs occult brethren. Country cousins form a large portion of the audience, and it is the summer which brings them flocking to London. With"George Graves back In Lon- don Gus Sohlke Is busy with the re- vival of the revue, "Then and Now." The new version will be seen In the music halls under the title of "The Virgin Queen." George Graves' prin- cipal support will come from Claire Romalne and Charles Stone. After a very brief return to the staple Lily St. John is retiring from "Whirled Into Happiness" at the Lyric. She will be succeeded by Margaret Campbell. Another new- comer to the James "George Ed- wardes" production is Derek Old- ham, until recently one of the stars of the Carl Rosa opera company. "Phi-Phi" will be tried out in the provinces the week commencing Aug. 7. It comes to the London Pa- vilion Aug. 16. Jay Laurier, a The future of the Empire is still a matter of conjecture and discus- sion. One scheme centred round the formation of a home of first-class boxing, and Sir Alfred Butt has been seriously considering a return to vaudeville. The latest story is that the theatre will be reopened in the autumn with a big American spec- tacular drama. C. B. Cochran has been making attempts to sign up Yvonne Prin- temps for a revue production, but Sacha Gultry has replied that she will only appear under his manage- ment in plays of his own writing. "Chuckles," although packing the Oxford every night, was not dping too well at matinees until C. B. Cochran started his half price mat- inee scheme. A stall can now be booked for the American success for three shillings and ninepence, whereas 15 shillings was the price during the run of the "League of Notions." The misfortunes of Ernest C. Rolls continue. At Marlybone Police Court he was found guilty of com- mitting an act of misconduct at a window of his flat in Maida Vale. The charge was supported by thfee women and two constables. Rolls declaring his Innocence. His wife. Jennie Benson, giving evidence, said he was a decent-minded, respectable man. Sentence of three months' Im- prisonment was passed. Notice of appeal was given immediately and Rolls was released on ball. After four years James Bernard Fagan has terminated his associa- tion with the court. He will resume activities at another house with a more central position, his first pro- duction being a comic opera written by himself, with music by Franco Leoni. Among his other arrange- ments are the adaptation of a French play for Irene Vanbrugh and the long-promised version of R. L, Stevenson's "Treasure Island" for Arthur Bourchler and Alexander Aaronsohn. The wave of eeonomy which has struck vaudeville managers has "THE HAS BEEN" A SLICE FROM LIFE also proved to several big vaude* ville acts Just exactly what the managers do think of them aa box office magnets. During the years o( boom and mad competition th« heads of the different circuits snapped up these people, signed them on at exorbitant salaries and generally created a false Imprei* sion of value. Now that the musie hall house Is being set In order to avoid general bankruptcy, theaa people are being faced with net contracts, showing their real worth. As a result there is much weepinf and walling. Many are retiring from the business and others an going on protracted foreign toun. Many American acts are biinf faced by the same thing. Havin; worked the few weeks they coim over with, they come up against th« managerial new order of economy and look up the next boat for honM.! Scott and Whalley are producin(L a new sketch.
