Romanee q stoeI.ina kni.ter.

Romance may certainly figure in
many of the knitted waisteoats and
gorgeous stockings worn by our under
graduates today, but these have not
so romantic an origin as the first Of
these articles produced in England, for
tradition has 1t that William Lee, who
in the sixteenth century invented the
knitting frame on which both stock
lngs and wsistcoats were produced
mechanically, was driven to this piece
OF ingenuity by the cruel fouting of
the lady he loved, who happened to be
a stocking knitter. Enraged at his fail
ure to make an impression on her
heart, he sought to make 1t on her
purse by killing her means OF liveli-
hood, and one is glad to read that all
stocking makers combined to Illustrate
his cruel purpose, with the result that
he fed with his invention to France,
where he finally died Of a broken
heart, whether for love OF his lady or
OF his spoiled invention tradition does
not say.-London Chronicle.

This is the outline. but it is in the
development that the story undoubt-
eddy strikes the true chord of human
interest and takes hold of the heart.
The tears must be real tears, and the
laughter real laughter to attract
strongly. Merely stage story built
upon theatrical lines could never win
the sway of popularity as "The
Prince Chap" appears to have done.
The fine work of Cyril Scott, we may
be sure, has helped a good deal. His
work must have been copied as far
as such a thing is possible on the
other side, even if Mr.. Scott HIM
self failed to recognize it when he
saw ''The Prince Chap" played in
London. The story is written by
Edward Peple in novel form is not
the character Cyril Scott created. He
had hid own conception of the part

The Murray & Mackey stock COM
pany opened weeks engagement at
the Grand last night to a crowded
house. The opening bill was "Dlue
Grass of Kentucky" fine play full
of those thrills so dear to the heart
of the repertoire fiend. There was
just a sufficient amount of gun play
to make the performance satisfactory
to the gallery gods.
The company headed by Mr.. Dom
ovan are all clever and capable, and
in last nights play they were all
more or less happily cast. The play
was costumed and staged in very
attractive manner. During the
progress of the piece the old tree In
John Brands yard was moved to the
jail yard, but that is a common oc-
curence in repertoire. :

"The Prince Chap

Interest in the visit OF The Prince
Chap to the Grand Wednesday is
increased by the fact that despite the
prejudice of the critics in England
and entirely different to the expert
ence of ''The Lion and the Mouse, .
which won nothing but praise, "The
Prince Chap" will run year in Lon
don while the former piece was with
drawn after a week, despite its I'M
usually fine qualities. Besides the
company at the Criterion Theatre,
London, two new companies have
been formed to meet the demand for
THE Prince Chap" in English
provinces. There must be something
hypnotic or magnetic / nthe story.
To read It in cold type It does not
strike one as being particularly eff
fective. 1t is simply an episode Of
young American sculptor, strug-
CLING for fame in London, who is
Tilted by his sweetheart, because Of
his poverty. He adopts the child Of
a model who dies in his studio, car
ing for the youngster until It grows
up to womanhood.

Birds Evolved From Reptiles,

1t may be shock to some persons to
learn that the birds Of the present day
are descendants of reptiles. This fact
has been conclusively proved by the
fossil remains of creatures that form
the intermediate stages between the
birds of today and the reptiles of pre-
historic ages. In fact. many of the
birds have not yet completed their ev-
olution, as in the case of the penguin,
whose wings are merely rudImentary,
absolutely inadequate for flying pur.
poses and useful only as a means of
propelllng these awkward creatures
through the water.
