... OUR CAPTIOUS CRITIC. THE ETERNAL QUESTION AT THE GARRICK THEATRE. IN the preface to the copy of the play which is now before the public at the Garrick Theatre, Mr. Hall Caine tells us that it owes nothing to his Eternal City (Her Majesty's Theatre, 1902) except the material which the latter piece owed to the novel-- his own novel of the same name. However, perhaps for their own happiness, ...
... OUR CAPTIOUS CRITIC. THE REJUVENATION OF AUNT MARY, AT TERRY'S THEATRE. I DO not know as I write whether The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary will be a success in London or not. But since in America, as we learn, its run has gone into four figures, we must do our best to like both the piece and the acting of it-- or stand the consequences. They are not pleasant, these consequences of being unable ...
... Japan-British Exhibition Awards. In July last an advertisement in this paper announced that J eyes sanitary Compounds, Ltd., were the only recipients of the Grand Prix for disinfectants at this exhibition. The Jeyes Company now learns that within the last few days a similar distinction has been conferred on another firm, and the proprietors ask us to correct what has now become an erroneous ...
... . By Frank A. SWINNERTON. {Chat to and Wtndus.) Do you know that Homer said the people of his time weren't so fine as those who were dead Mr. Swinnerton records one of his characters as saying. The remark may evoke in the reader's mind a wonder as to what Homer would have done with such a crowd as that which peoples I he Young Idea. Undoubtedly they would have been the slaves to polish the ...
... THO U --THE CAE A M ITT. THE average woman of the Land of the Lion and of the Sun is, it would seem, much as was the Thou of Omar's day: she may sit beside her lord, singing to turn his Wilderness into Paradise enow, the while he sips his cup of wine and breaks his loaf of bread; she may give him sons, that he may have light in his eyes; she may even amuse him, as did the many ladies ...
... London Nights Entertainments BY JINGLE. A WOMAN'S WAY AT THE COMEDY THEATRE THE fact that this play is of American origin explains many things that would be otherwise not so easy to understand. Alan Waldron is a young man of good intentions but variegated morals, who has been for a drive in his motor-car with a fair friend, and has met with an accident en route. The sensa tional newspaper ...

... OUR CAPTIOUS CRITIC. PROMENADE CONCERTS AT QUEEN'S HALL. THERE is a great difference between a promenade concert as we have it at the Queen's Hall and what we remember of the earlier Promenades at Covent Garden. In the old times it was a case of more movement than music. Except when some singer in favour or some popular selec tion of the moment brought the crowd to attention, the bulk of the ...
... . By Vedette. IF one were to judge by a first-night furore of resolute applause, one would foretell a long career of popularity for The Man from Mexico at the Strand. The house echoed with the laughter caused-- at least, I suppose it must have been caused-- by the humours of some of the most antediluvian farce that I have seen for many a long day; and Mr. Stanley Cooke was thoroughly ...
... . By Vedette. SINCE last I wrote five or six of the West End theatres have reopened, in nearly every case with a programme of some importance and novelty. The start thus made by the theatrical season may, I think, be pronounced on the whole a satisfactory one, though it has included its dis appointments. The Crisis did not strike one as at all a happy choice by Miss Evelyn Millard for her re ...
... OUR CAPTIOUS CRITIC. KING HENRY VIII. AT HIS MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Henry VIII. at His Majesty's is a show of shows, and-- as to this particular play at least-- the general expert opinion has it that the poet, following the changing times, has put dress before drama. If this is to be accepted as gospel-- though hard to believe of Shakespeare --Sir Herbert Tree, outrivalling both Calvert and ...
