either. a guitar. a violin. or a not "melan-
choly" flute. and melody and song of the
homemade kind seems to break loose here
rather than come at "the cue" and to order.
Above all else there is a wonderful sor
of all-around housekeeping in these Joyous
little homes from participation in which no
friend or guest is altogether debarred, and
occasionally under no circumstances ab-
solved. 1t is as though the effort. assump-
tion and repression of the stage world found
its exact antithesis in this most precious of
haunts: and that all those things in home
making and keeping which are regarded as
irksome bv ordinary folk, were to these
people the acme of pleasure and delight.
Since "Wills," 'tButtons," 'Toms" and
other famous coffee houses and clubs of the
Oueen Anne period, history of the changes
and habitues of famous London clubs to
which actors have given the chief support,
would almost be a history of English men
of letters and literature. The actors club
haunts of to-day chiefly comprise the Gar
rick, Green Room, Savage, Arundel, Lyric
and Beefsteak clubs.

The Arundel has $50 to 400 members. 1t
was once exclusively literary and artistic.
Ambitious solicitors and amateurs of all
sorts are now admitted, and its percentage
of legitimate actors is growing smaller.
The Lyric has a magnificent club house
In Picadilly, and with its entire appoint
ments, including q large theater and con-
cert hall, is among the finest buildings for
this purpose in the world. It also has an
annex called The Lyric Club at Barnes-on-
Thames, from which boat racing and other
river fetes can be witnessed. The Lyric is
a dramatic and musical club with nearly
900 members Perhaps 10 per cent of
these are actors Lord Londesborough,
Fred Cowen and Sir Arthur Sullivan are
members.
The well-known Savage Club, literary
and artistic, which interchanges privileges
With the Lotus Club of New York, has
about 700 members. 1t had its origin "a
years ago in a public house near Drury
Lane Theater. Since then it has wandered
% Haxe1's Hotel, thence to the Savoy, and
inally to the Adelphi Terrace, overlooking
he Thames. About 80 of its members, who
ire also members of the Green Room Club,
ire actors.
