LONDON NOTES (Continued from page 2) Simpson, the original In America. Hatherton has been 111 for some time. He began his career over forty .vcais ago with D'Oyly Carte. A. A. Mllne Is the latest author to cause the authorities at Kf. James' I'alace sleepless nights. His new play, due for production by Sir Gerald du Maurler, was origin- ally called "Penny Royal." Then changed to "To Meet the Prince." This upset the L#ord Chamberlain, who thought It smacked too much of familiarity as regards the I'rince of Wales. The play will now be called "To Have the Honor," the phrase which heads the i ivitatlons to any function at which His lloyal Highness will be present. Having tried Shakespeare and old-fashioned musical comedy at the Kingsway. Donald (^althrop will make yet another apiie.il to fortune with revue. He will pro- duce In about a month's lime. Sketches by A. A. Milne will fea- ture the show. Mark Lester has resl;;ned from ".Nell Gwynn," and his part vmII he played by Walter Pas.smoie.
