youngsters were thought to be playing at strike.
But in Scotland il soon became clear that tho
strike was prompted to force an extension Of the
principle of free education, which stops short at
the sixth standard. Since it has travelled south
tire free education cry has been dropped for that
OF full meals, which again proves that the thing
IS being worked from below.
One other social matter OF some Importance
is attracting attention. The County Council for
London is charged with the duty of licensing
places of amusement. For the first time in
English history there is seen freely elected body
sitting in judgment upon the character Of public
entertainments. The committee has laid it down
that the admission of fallen women to a music
bail shall disquality IL. Again, the committee
has gone into examination Of songs and the
Trocadero among other places has come to grief
FOR permitting doubtful illusions Naturally the
committee set up it's standard of refinement,
which is not the standard of the masses and against
this there has been a sharp protest. The COM
mittce has its friends, and the Bishop of London
will preside over a large meeting called 30
strengthen the hands of the Council The deci-
sions taken have to be reviewed by the full
Council.
The expected return to the stage of Mrs Bancroft
is the one thing of interest to theatre-goers She
is believed TO be studying adaptation of Belle
Maman," just prepared for her by Mr.. Burnand,
and she will be seen before Christmas
Mr.. TOoles latest productions, The Bungalow, -
farcical comedy, and On Toast" a comedietta,
both by Mr.. Horner, began badly and were badly
played, so that public favor can hardly now be
won for them.
The Criterion revival Of Caste" is very une-
quail, but the play has merits of its own which
will fill the house for some time
AT the Leeds Festival the new cantata by Mr..
+. Cordel, The Sword of Argantyr," has rather
divided the critics. Its style is that of the ad-
vanced school, but only in parts, and the con-
uastS are so sharp as to lead to the charge of
want of consistency.
