... THE HONOURABLE MEMBER. Even if The Honourable Member does not show that Mr. Gattie has grown more skilled in the strange art of the dramatist than he appeared to be in The Transgressor, it proves that the qualities recognised in the play produced by Miss Olga Nethersole were not due to a mere lucky hit. I must admit, reluctantly, some feeling of disappointment, and yet perhaps it is ...

... Til E WEDDING OF TRILBY. Reality has proved kinder than fiction, and the first exponent of the fascinating Trilby on the English stage has been happily united to the Little Billee of her choice. The metaphor, for which Mr. Tree undertook the responsibility in his farewell speech the other night, falls short of absolute aptitude by reason of the stature of the bridegroom, which forbids the ...

... . The Queen held an investiture on Wednesday. The most interesting personality of the occasion was Lord Kelvin, who received the badge of the Knight Grand Cross of the Victorian Order. Yesterday the Crown Prince of Denmark was invested with the Garter, and his two sons with the Grand Cross of the Bath. Royalty is once again the dominant note of public interest now Princess Maud is being ...

... . Though it is nearly twenty years since Mr. Henry Compton died, he is still remembered by the English public. As a rule, the actor who was not a manager also is soon forgotten. Mr. Compton was content to be an actor, as good an actor as natural aptitude and patient, thorough work would allow him to be. Acting was enough for him. He never desired or sought to become the manager of a theatre, ...

... . It is not often that a soldier turns playwright, although the author of The New Boy is only one of many officers who have laid down the sword for the pen. Mr. Arthur Law obtained his commission as ensign in the 21st Royal Scots Fusiliers some thirty years ago; he remained in the Army eight years-- which included service in India and Burmah-- and, even in those early days, was famed in the ...

... . Perhaps nothing in Mr. Tree's tenure of the Haymarket has been so remarkable as his last performance on Wednesday. To represent four such different characters as Loris Ipanoff, Falstaff, Svengali, and Gringoire, to adapt one's personality to the humorous, passionate, melodramatic, and poetic in one evening, is certainly an extraordinary feat. Perhaps nothing more clearly showed the actor's ...

... . If any colossal cataclysm of nature were certain to happen and swallow up this island, and I were asked to say which product of our nation would most adequately represent its progress in the sciences and arts, I should feel disposed to choose one of the great ocean steamers, and if any one suggested to me that the Greater Scot would be the best representative, I should hardly say no.
