PRIVATE THEATRlCALs.
a goodly number Of the distinguished
house party, however, hardly got a
chance 20 put their noses out Of doors
They were too busy rehcarsing the pri-
yate theatricals which, for weeks be-
fore, had l2en the talk Of the whole
country. Chaisoorth, with It's beaut-
fully appointed private ,heater. always
has been famous as the scene OF the
most ambitious amateur theatrical per-
iormances In this country With the
possible exception Of those given by the
Marquis of Anglesey at his Welsh cas-
tie. And this year 1t had been noised
broad that IN the version Of "Cinder-
ella written by Leo Trevor the soci-
ETY. man and amateur actor, for the en-
teuanment Of the royal hoSse party at
Chatsworth, Princess Henry Of Pless,
Lady Maud Warrender, the beautiful
Murlel Wilson, Mrs, willie James,
Sir Hedworth williamson, and the tall
cnted author all would appear.
The night Of the private theatricals
was a great one Soon after having en-
joyed true feast Of Lgcillus in the
state dinlngroom at Chatsworth, the
royal party entered the little theater
and were seated, and probably such a
"bald-headed row" as The amateur
players had 20 face when the curtain
went up was never got together before
IN the center sat the king, with the
Duchess Of Deyonshirc on his right and
the dowager Duchess Of Manchester on
his left. Beside his wife sat The duke,
with Queen Alexandra beside him, and
In this exalted front row also sat the
prime minister, the Marquis de Several,
the Princess Victoria and Prince Henry
Of Pless.
The entertainment was fall Of topical |
hits Even the fiscal question was hit |
of. to the great delight Of The king,
though whether the Duke and Mr., Bal
four were amused as much IS rather |
Questionable. Leo Trevor in n make
believe m,tor.car, had fun with the !
London county councils new speed rec
ulatons, and even the Peckham fat
boy, whose adventures recently have
added to the gaiety Of nations on this
side Of the water, was introduced. In
the pantomlme Of Cinderella which
followed a monologue on The Eternal
Feminine by Princess Henry of Pless,
Mrs. Willie James played the part Of
the heroine, Sir Hedworth Williamson
was the prince. the fair Lady Maud
Warrender and MurIel Wilson we're the
ugly" sisters and Leo Trevor, the fairy
god mother.
