... A NEW edition of the Pickwick Papers under the auspices of Messrs. Lawrence and Jellicoe and Messrs. Chapman and Hall ought to satisfy in combination those who appreciate pictorial art and those who hold to their Dickens. Book after book appearing with success justifies his admirers, notwithstanding the new criticism which disparages the author of David Copperfield, knows nothing of ...
... MR. TROWER is a writer after the fact. He gives us no imaginary picture, but one only of what he has seen and felt. His book is perhaps not general as the world goes, but is delightfully realistic as the reproduction of a surviving example of the old England which, Where it is not already the prey of the spoiler, is trembling for its future Socially, Mr. Trower's work deals with rural ...

... LATE THEATRES. THE PLAYHOUSE AND THE ST. JAMES'S. IT would be difficult to imagine a contrast greater than that between the entertainments provided for the after noons of the Christmas holidays at the Playhouse and the St. James's. At the former theatre Mr. Leo Trevor's merrily written Our Little Cinderella is fortunate in giving us all the fun of the pantomime fair with none of its vulgarity. ...
... OUR CAPTIOUS CRITIC. GRACE, AT THE DUKE OF YORK'S THEATRE. Grace has proved for awhile one of the few successes of the season, although I should not care to insist upon its being a very great one. I should feel surer in express ing the opinion that it owed as much to the actors-- most of them-- as to Mr. Maugham-- or should I say Somerset- Maugham, after the pattern of Lloyd-George and Keir- ...

... THE desert gateway of Mr. S. H. Leeder is the townlet of Biskra, on the edge of the Algerian Sahara. The author had the privilege of a compara tively long stay at this far-away settlement and resort --for its native population is largely supplemented by Europeans and Americans, most of whom are visitors availing themselves of one or other of its quite numerous hotels.

... , By Mrs. George de Horne Vaizey. H odder and Stonghton.) Before many pages have been turned the ques tion of marriage resolves itself into a question of celibacy. Vanna Strangeways had a fatal family history madness appeared in it as gout or red hair characterises others. Therefore, a great specialist tells her that never, never must she perpetuate it.

... London Mights Entertainments BY JINGLE. I DECORATING CLEMENTINE AT THE GLOBE THEATRE THIS play is beyond all question the most important event of the week. Beside such a production the very much over-advertised General Election sinks into insignificance, and the inexactitudes of Mr. Winston Churchill, and the Lime'us of Mr. Lloyd George, pale their ineffectual fires. Speakers at election ...
