Acndemy-eWhen London SIeeIts."
One of the most successful of recently
imported meYodrama is when London
Sleeps" which is announced for the at
traction this week at the Academy of
Music. Mr.. Darrell. the author, has
gone to the circus ring for his principal
characters. and 1t is admitted that he
has drawn them with considerable skill.
giving on the whole n striking picture.
Most people hold III strong affection the
merry din and innocent fun of the saw
dist strewed arena--it is treasured
among their earliest memories-and
hence peep behind the curtains into
one of the tragedies of human life In
which the heroes OF our childhood play
parts, appeals with irresistible force
alike to our curiosity and sympathy.
The sensational scene so necessary for
modern meiodrama. and which is so
often dragged In, Is said to become In
this case a most natural one. Queenie,
the heroine, in the first portions OF the
play, is introduced as slack WIRE
walker. and, when she finds herself
locked in burning building which has
been fired by the villain, she escapes By
treading telegraph line. The title oil
the piece is ostensibiy derived from one
of its main INCIDENTS and most daring
scenes-a house of infamy into which the
heroine has been iured and which thrives
when London Sleeps" though as a
matter of fact, tradition has 1t that Lon
don never sleeps. This is largely respon-
sible for the dramas success, the sensa'
tional elements serving as solid assur-
ances of high favor. People like to see
| the hero sweep to his revenge, the Viiiaif
| circumvented. the heroine restored TO mel
| own and her love requited.
The production is said to be mounte,
| in an elaborate manner, and good per
| formance is promised.

Stuart Robsons annual visits to WASH

events in the world of amusements. He
has endeared himself TO thousands OF
,heatergoers by reason of the many
clever characterizations which he mas
contributed to the comedy stage-charac-
terizations, by the way. that have al
ways been carefully drawn and delicately
as well as artistically handled. Hence
the followers of this excellent artist have
come to know that any play to which he
contributes his unique personality will be
presented in a painstaking and praise
worthy manner. This being true, 1t Is
not extraordinary that the announce
