in support of Ada Rehan and Otis Skin

Mr.. Clarke was Mr.. Days right-hand
man for many years and played leading
parts IN almost every production at DAILY S
New York and London theaters. and his
intimate personal relations with the great
American manager enables him to speak
with anauthority that few others could
have.
TT was Mr.. Days custom to invite
certain favored members of his company
and few personal friends to meet at the
theater after the performance to watch
the old year out and the new one in every
New Years Eve.
These gatherings were the occasion for
the coming together Of Generals Horace
Porter. now Minister to France, Sheri-
dan and Sherman, William Winter, one of
the greatest Of dramatic critics, Mark
Twain. and from time to time others, all
of them of renown in their particular
sphere.

London. Dec. 2s.-(copyright, 1so3.)-I
have heard America promoters who
have been coming to London to sell good
things during the last year or 30 confess
that they found the English investor en-
tirely different from what he used to be
in former years. They say they detect an
absence of the note Of cordially in his
reception which formerly did not exist.
The reason for this might be best ex-
pressed in figures. A report of the Board
of Trade shows that during the year 1909
solvent, involving a total loss to vendors,
public subscribers and creditors of $321,-
352, go. For the last ten years the sum so
lost is appalling, reaching N,S12 76S. s9o.

naturally grown a little reluctant to let
