recommended, the opinion having been all
along that the present ration, which is tho
result OF 100 years OF experience and ex-
pertinent, is the most scientific and s~atisfac-

He was keenly interested in the forthcoming

Regarding the Anglo-American High COM

Considering the advanced state Of the sea-
son, numerous changes are announced by
the theaters. The Americans are looking
forward with interest to Nat Goodwin's APP

Monday; at Days the same night George
Edward will revive The Gaiety Girl" on
Tuesday there will be a revival of Pima
fore at the Savoy, and on Thursday Sarah
Bernhard will open with LA Tosca' at the
Adelphi.
At a meeting of the Theatrical Managers
association on Thursday it was decided to
fight tie music halls on their own ground
and to obtain the right to permit smoking
in the theaters. 1t is not expected that the
best houses will avail themselves of the
privilege, though it is recognized that some
of the theaters devoted to light entertain
ment will find the smoking privilege vafu-
able.
When Lydia Thompson was in America
after the Franco-Prussian war, she gave
benefits at Washington, Philadelphia, Pitts
burg and New Orleans for the French actors
and actresses. This they have never for
gotten and it led Sarah Bernhard to or
ganize a benefit for Miss Thompson. who is
now retiring from the stage. The perform
ance was given on Thursday at the Porte
St. Martin theater, Paris, a wonderful array
of celebrities, including Coquelin, Bernhardt
and Rejane, taking part in it. The benefit
netted SO, 1000 for Miss Thompson.

Three officers who FASTENED to the scene
