LONDON, Dec. 26.-The fact that
Christmas day fell on a Friday this
year gives the business men and wage
workers a rest of three days from their

bank holiday under the law, and is be-
ing observed in the customary manner
throughout the United Kingdom. The
city itself is as deserted as on Sundays
all the business houses being closed
The usual pantomine productions
We're given tonight. The Drury Lane
theater was the Mecca for the holiday
makers of the west end. the usual SUI
perb spectacle holding the stage at that
historic place of amusement. There
was but one thing lacking to make the
great pantomine as successful and as
entertaining as those of former years
and that was the absence of Dan LenC
whose physical and mental breakdown
a few months ago neceSSitated his re-
tirement from the stage.
All the suburban theaters and the
HippOdrOme also presented pantomines
and had big audiences both afternoon
and evening. The West End houses
with the exception of the Drury lane
played their running bills.
