and costumes.
But it is at the old Drury Lane that one
finds the true pantomime surroundings.
When l entered This theater the other day
1t was one vast scene of organized disor,
in every available corner of the house. The
stage was given up exclusively to training
the children. In the corridors. crowds of
girls were sitting and standing waiting the
call to go on. The leading comedians were
going through their lines in the foyer. Mr..
Herbert Campbell leaning gracefully
against the bar. was hurting back with in
terest. the witticisms which came from
DAN Leno. perched on high stool
Miss Madge Lessing was leading the chorus
In one part of the foyer. Miss Marie George
was practicing her Norman songs and
dances and cracking dialect jokes in her
own peculiar idiom in another corner.
1t is noteworthy that the two principal
girl parts at the Drury Lane this year are
taken by old Casino favorites.
