Hall Game, author and dramatist
has astonished himself and thousands
of visitors to the Isle Of Man by turn
ing actor.
The reason and manner Of his debut
on the public stage were as follows.
His drama. The PTOdigal Son." was
being played at the Grand theatre,
Douglas, his SON. who plays the part
of the governor general, was seized
with illness, and his medical attendant
ordered him q complete rest for several
days.
There was no undeTstudy, and the
management We're perplexed, The aU-
thor of the play, who is at present So
journing at his Manx home, Greeba
castle, got them out of their difficulty
by consenting to read the part. for
few nights
Mr.. Caifie did not dress for the part
He came on in his ordinary attire, and
he was not afflicted with stage fright
He carried the manuscript in one hand
while in the other he held ready his
eyeglasses, in case he found it neces-
sary to refresh his memory, but he
seldom used either paper or glasses, as
he was almost word-perfect in his
lines.
He displayed remarkable capability
as an elocutionist, and particularly rose
to the occasion when, at the end of
the second act, the crime of forgery is
brought home TO the son.
His denunciation of the offender
played by his sOn-was a powerful
piece of elOcutiOn, and it stirred the
audience wonderfully. They repeatedly
called him before the curtain and clam
OrOusly demanded a speech.

BEHIND THE CURTAIN.

The recall of Minister WI Ting Fang
has served to remind some Of his old
friends in Washington Of a character
lstic episode in his career soon after
he came to this country as minister for
the first time, says the Washington
Post.
At the earnest entreaty Of one or two
or his acquaintance, he went to the
rescue of a dOwntrOdden theatrical
troupe and succeeded in getting it safely
out Of town without having 1t fall into
the clutches Of an eager and active
sheriff. The whole affair illustrated
Wu's keen appreciation Of things and
the readiness with which he detected
the humOT Of a situation.
1t happened not long after Vu
reached Washington the first time that
the performance Of "Fantasma" was
being given out at Glen Echo, Md.
The troupe had been wrestling with iii
luck for a whole summer. Fall came
and cold weather. The sheriff impend-
ed. It was absolutely necessary that
strong measures be taken. WI was
then the vogue in all the public points
A newspaper man friendly to the man
agement went to WI and told him that
if he and the whole retinue of the Iega-
ton would go out and see the perform
ance given night it would mean much
to the management and would be high
~ humanitarian. WI saw the point
and said he'd do it. On the appointed
night after the proper advertising. Wu
appeared at the performance with
something like a dozen Chinese, all in
costume, and the crowds fairly
thronSed in. The summer theatre
wouldn't hold all Of them. WI STAYED
through it all, drank pink lemonade
ginger ale and otherwise dispOrted him
self and had the time of his life.
The box office saw more money that
night than it had seen all summer. and
the members of the troupe had visions
of being in clover. The only trouble
was that an enterprising manager did
a stunt Of high finance with the most
of the receipts, escaping the sheriff BY
a nose. The mem bers of the barn
stormtng array barely managed to res
cue their trunks from hook and get
out OF town. Had it not been for WI
they might have been in Washington
yet.

The London censorship committee is
making much ado about Norma
Wanna" Nearly every witness has
been asked his opinion Of Maeterlinck's
play, both Mr.. Alexander and Mr.. Ed
wardes being questioned on the sub
ject.
The play is little known to the gem
eral public, although it is Obtainable in
book form. It was first produced in
Paris in May, 1902, and a few months
later the examiner of plays announced
his ''iTreVOCable" decision not to recon-
mend it for license.
There was an immediate cutlery
against the interdict and the following
celebrities, among others, publicly pro-
tested against a decision of the cen
sOrship by which the representation, in
the French, of a play by the distin-
guished French writer Of the highest
moral reputation has been forbidden in
England" Mrs. Seis. the late A c.
Swinburne, Thomas Hardy, the late
George Meredith, H. A. Jones, W. B.
Yeats and William Archer. Then fol-
lowed the usual method Of evading the
censor.
Immediately the London AIaeterlinck
society was formed, and under its aus
piCes, with no money taken at the
doors, the play was performed at Bays
water hall.
Those who saw It on thatSOccasion
wondered at the censor's action, and
general public sympathy was with
Alexander when he told Mr.. Harcourt
that Norma Wanna" ought not to be
kept off the stage, and that he would
produce 1t if he had a repertoire thea
tire.
The theme is delicate, but the treat
meut is beautiful It discusses this
problem: rs a wOman's chastity or a
wife's honor more important than the
lives of a city's entire populations"
Mr.. MaeteTlinck appears to think that
it is not and that is probably where
the censor begged to differ.

SEASIDE CLUBS
 BANQUET SUCCESS
Dr.. Porter an Ideal Toastmaster Judge Foster aud Attorney Hill in
 Remarks.

The annual banquet of the Seaside club last night was a. success. Al- though there were not so n-any of the younger members of the club present as the president Dr. George L. Porter had expected, there was plenty of life and enthusiasm in evidence.
 The dinner was served by Steward William Crowley in the club parlors. The toastmaster of the club. President Dr. George L. Porter. The speakers of the evening addressed the diners in a very informal but interesting way. Judge Carl Foster spoke on the advantages of a club in dealing with civic matters and urged that the mem- bers take a deeper interest in political affairs. Referring to critics he said err to accomplish anything worth wi.ile.
 Police Commissioner George F. Hill, had intended tos address the banquet ters along the same lines as Judge Foster did and Attorney Hill was stole his idea and took the words out of his mouth last night However, Attorney Hill had a good stock of clever stories on hand and told some interesting incidents of his travel in In referring to the complaint box which President Porter said would be installed for those who had com plaints, Attorney Hill told of the Lions Head in Venice where in olden times "kickers' and others dropped their troubles in the lions mouth. If a complaint was made about some of the men higher up'' among the pow CTS that were in the city of canals the man who made, the criticism dis appeared and his body. was. found floating on the canals. a few days af- ter. Attorney Hill said he hoped no such dire calamity would befan any member of the Seaside club.
 Dr. Porter made an excellent toast master and treated the members of the club to selections from the classics which were in strong contrast to the speeches which followed. The new billiard room was opened last night

900 BANKS CHARGED WITH VIOLATING
 THE LAW
Special from United Press.)

Washington. Dec. I0.-Nearly nine hundred banks of the United States have been warned by the Comptroller of the Currency that they ate violat- ing the law, that they are liable to forfeit their charters and that their directors may be held to individual responsibility.
 They are charged with having made loans in excess of the ten per cent of their capital stock which Is the legal limit. In 1906. according to the report of the comptroller. made public to- day, over half the national banks had secuted the law in this respect. Early in 1907 the percentage had been reduc- cd to something over a quarter of. the total namber of banks and in Septem- Der of this year. only 15.2 per cent. were guilty of this infraction of the rules. The comptroller says:
 ''The attention of every bank. the report from which shows that loans have been made m excess of the limi- tation. is directed to the double pen alty for violation of the restriction; that is the individual liability of the directors who knowingly permit an excessive loan to be made. for any loss that may be sustained thereon, and second. forfeiture of the banks char ter"
 The report gives a mass of interest ing figures as to the amount of money on deposit in the various banks of the country, the number of depositors, etc
