... SI I library A Play as a Book What an excellent book it would have made. The reflec tion is not an unusual one on the part of the literary man at the theatre, and seeing, shortly before the conclusion of its brilliant run, Mr. Rudolf Besier's Don, I was tempted to think how admirably the story would read. Scarcely had the thought been registered than there came into my hands a copy of the ...
... ADAPTED FROM THE FRENCH BY PAUL M. POTTER. REVIEWED BY JINGLE THE gracious order of His Majesty that the theatres should be opened makes it a duty on the part of the dramatic reviewer to continue his work, even though, as is the case with the theatres themselves, he cannot properly expect to arouse any great interest at this time of national mourning, when the majority of people have no ...
... The Exiles of Faloo, By Barry Pain. (Methuen.) The mere fact that it comes naturally to drop the Mr. in speaking of Barry Pain is a proof of familiarity and friendship, and The Exiles of Faloo will leave him in greater request than ever. The exiles, for each of whom circumstances have made it advisable that they should leave England, find refuge in a little island in the South Seas, where ...
... OUR CAPTIOUS CRITIC THE ISLANDER AT THE APOLLO THEATRE. ELSEWHERE, I believe, the Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News deals at length, and I am sure with sympathy, upon the loss to the country, the drama, and the world at large by the death of Edward the Peace maker, who will, if the future is just, be remembered by the more inclusive title of Edward the Great. I cannot, however, help ...

... A New Play at the Garrick Theatre THE DAWN OF A TO-MORROW. REVIEWED BY JINGLE THIS is a play of popular religious sentiment. It has doubtless been written in a spirit of real sincerity, and I should not be surprised to hear that it was as successful as any of the other productions of the same kind that have precede it. Miss Gertrude Elliott plays the leading part with a fine enthu siasm ...
... A LITERARY LETTER. Ike JSdlwsitrdlnaini Ejpoclht I off ILifferatUflre A Prae MotcL London, May 16, 1910. My last Letter was written before the death, which all his subjects so grievously deplore, of King Edward VII. In a literary letter it might be becoming to say something about the Edwardian epoch in literature. Manv cynical onlookers would suggest that there was no epoch that could bear ...
... OUR CAPTIOUS CRITIC, LOUIS XI., AT THE QUEEN'S THEATRE. IT is more than thirty-two years ago that Louis XI. was produced at the Lyceum. The play had been up to then associated in this country with Charles Kean, with whom-- we have been since informed-- the elder Irving was not unwilling to invite comparison. I did not see Charles Kean in this particular piece, which I regret for despite an ...
... . By Vedette. KING EDWARD VII. AS PLAYGOER would make an in teresting article if it were written by one with time and facilities for an exhaustive study of his late Majesty's unwearying patronage of the theatre. King Edward as dramatic critic, also, would be worth writing about by anyone who had been privileged to know him intimately in that capacity, and to listen to the shrewd comments ...
... By Henry de Vkre Stacpoolb. John Murray This is a book full of weather and beautiful French landscape, with a constant thrill of the supernatural underlying its most natural aspects like the heart that beats within a fair body. An ancestral tragedy of love and death has to be revived in the last two representatives of a great family, and Fate rings up the curtain in an old castle where they ...
