THE CRITIC ON THE HEARTH

... THE CRITIC ON THE1?-- HEARTH i. By A. ST. JOHN ADCOCK SAGES-- who get to know these things-- have laid it down that, whatever else may have changed, human nature is the same now as it was in the beginning: and you can't produce enough evidence to put them in the wrong.

THINGS NEW: AT THE THEATRES

... THINGS NEW AT THE THEATRES. THE St. James's Theatre must have been rather surprised when asked to welcome Valentine, a new romantic comic opera, for I do not think the memory of living dramatic critic runs to the time when a work of this kind was presented at the theatre so long associated with Sir George Alexander.

ROUND THE THEATRES: JOLLY JACK TAR

... ROUND THE THEATRES. JOLLY JACK TAR. Last week I was only able to guess why the machinery broke down and caused a sudden delay in the arrival of Jolly Jack Tar. Now I have seen it, and I understand. They say there are to be no more war plays. It may be so. Possibly this one, know ing itself to be the last of its race, decided to make a specially determined and comprehensive final kick. ...

THE PALLADIUM

... . STANDING room only was the cry as we reached the Palladium last week, and doubt less it would be the same at the churches if the preachers had to endure the fiery ordeal of com petition which falls to the lot of the variety artist. London does not seem much of a place to visit just now. You may tramp from restaurant to restaurant without finding a vacant table, 'phone up the theatres and ...
