A Continuous Performance.
London never has had a continuous
performance theatre, although the field
seemed very tempting and several Ame-
1'ican theatrical managers looked over it
carefully.
Now a new theatre is to be built in a
prominent West-End tlloroughfare, con-
tiguous to the shopping district, and a
continuous performance from IL A. NJ.
until II P. NJ. is to be given at popular
prices London, despite its enormous
population. transient and permanent,
never has had good drama or variety
in a frst-class theatre at prices that
could be called rea sonable contrasted
with prices in populous American cities.
The average price for an orchestra seat
in London theatre playing ordinary
dramas is $3.50. while the first balcony
te 1.50 and the gallery is GO cents.
Why prices should be SO high is un-
cXplainable except on the theory that
the managers need noney'--and get it,

to make large profits at popular prices, :

1ha Interesting discovery has beer

that while Emile lola isn't likely TO be

a regularly canonized saint.
Saint lola, who WAS John Baptist 20
la. was born in 1870 in Italy and in i6or
became a Jesuit. He was sent as a
missionary 10 Portuguese, India, aud
thence 10 Japan, where he was put to
death in 1870.
The 1nartyred lola was canonized by
,the late Pope Plus IN. in 1850. 1t is
apparent that the courage of the martyr
