The Foreign Stage.


Special Correspondence of The Star.
LONDON July s. 1907.
Jerrard Grant Allen, only son of the late
novelist. is a young man with ideas and
lots of energy. He started out as
theatrical manager not long ago. it may be
remembered, and made a good beginning by
producing Kingsley Tarpeys Amateur
Socialist" which scored hugely at the Lon
don Criterion. despite the fact that it had
been declined by several more experienced
managers.
Since then the youngest British mana
ger as Grant Allen has been christened,
has made no actual produ~ tons but he
has acquired several rather promising
plays. the first of which-"The Stormy
Petrel''-will be tried in Glasgow shortly
and then brought to London if it proves a
success. Among the pieces Grant Allen
has in reserve, by the way, is one by
Gladys Jnger, the American girl whose
Lemonade Boy was played in front of
The Amateur Socialist" and whose three
act play, Mr.. Sheridan" was produced
recently at the London Garrick. This is
called The knave of Hearts," and is out
ahd-out meiodrama with big scene laid
IN thieves kitchen.
Decidedly the most imDortant of vouro
Grant Aliens activities however. is a
scheme which he has under way for giving

non-existent here. 1t will resemble the

Iuxurious-a hall in the West End is now.
In fact. being transformed to serve the
purpose-and the prices will be higher than
ordinary theater rates, the idea being to
cater to ''intelectual' audiences. That such
can be attracted in London the success
OF the Court Theater has proved. but

theatricals at steep rates is another mat

Health Of American Miners.

There is some consolation in learning
from the medical practitioners that the risk

health of these men on the whole is good,

In coal mining, however. the deaths at
