cles in London was made on Thursday

trical cabs on the. street. They re-

The performance of so-called copy
right productions of various plays to
fulfill the requirements of the English
law has given rise to much comment

have been actually used on the stage.
The costumes in question are decidedly
attractive.

adopt the recent suggestion made to
her by the Prince of Whales, that she

speculation is active in Paris concern
