PL1Y BUILT ON BAND.
1mcricans Succeed IN Evading Eng
Hsh Censorship.

London. oct. 4.-The intrcacies of theatrical
censorship were responsible tonight for a
rather remarkable entertainment at tie AID
wych Theatre. An American band had been en-
gagged for the season. but when the time came
for the opening tonight the manager found
that the theatre had been licensed only for the
production of play. He therefore wove a play
around the band. There was no plot to the So
called play which consisted merely of a few
people strolling around the bandstand engaging
in loud and apparently meaningless conversa-
ton It was sufficient for the purpose how
ever.
