The season in London so far as the
theatres are concerned may be regard
ed as over. What novelties, if any,
managers still have up their sleeves

Dolitan public, but in view of their pro-
vincial tours. and, if played at all in
London, the performances will partake
more of the nature of dress rehearsals
than of anything else. There are. il

duce first in the provinces, has secured
