fads was his collection OF walking sticks OF oil
mannor OF odd and bizarre patterns. The
more gro,os1ue stick was that he saw in
shop window the surer he was to buy 1t. Ono
OF his sticks had the head OF n bulldog. life

street, unmindful OF the fact that every passer-
by stopped to look at him. Another cano had
the head Of a monkey, which when spring
was touched, stuck out its tongue and winked
Its eyes, and Case was fond OF walking down
Piccadilly with 1t under his arm, blinking
and loling It's tongue. while he appeared abso-
lutely unconscious that no was attracting 1T
tention. Others OF his sticks contained per-
fume fountains, j ack in the-b box whistles, aud
similar instruments Of torture.

Isaac Henderson the American novelist has
written q play founded upon his well-known
romance Agatha Page" and Mr.. Beerbohm
Tree will give the first presentation OF 1t Mt tho
Haymarket Theatre In the autumn. The dram
attic interest OF "A Silent Battle" as the play Is
called. is very strong. and parts OF 1t are Pc
cuiarly well balanced. Although the two most
notable characters are perhaps Agdud and
Aprcede allotted respectively to Mrs. Tree and
Miss Julia Nelson, Mr.. Tree will have q part
which Is excellently fitted to display his par
ticular talent. 1t goes without saying that A
Silent Battle" Is q play OF very high order. The
fact that Mr.. Tree undertakes its production is
sufficient guarantee Of this. The famous sactor-
manager OF the Haymarket, will mako a pro-
iessional visit to the United States during the
senson OF 1922.

best plays In their repertoire.
