the London newspapers that 1.-THE Convert"
a play by Sergius Stepniak, which had an
experimental performance recently, is a
very ordinary and very clumsy bit. OF melo-
| drama, wholly uninteresting except for the
fact of it's authorship.
"Zaza," the play in which Rejane is ap-
pearing at the Paris vaudeville, deals with

The London stage next fall will have two
versions of 1.-THE Three Guardsmen." Beer
bohm Tree will play in one by Sydney Grun-
ay and Louis Waller in another by Henry
Hamilton. The treatment of the subject by
