HISTORY OF THE PANToMIME
Was First introduced to the English
Stage in 17o2-Has Always
Been Popular.

The first pantomime introduced to
the English stage was Tavern Blk
ers," and was by John Weaver. This
was in the year 1902. 1t was produced
at Drury Lane The great institutor
of pantomime in England was, how
ever, John Rich, who devised this
form of entertainment in Tilt His
first emphatic success was in liza,
when he produced THE Necroman-
Ger; or, History of DR.. Faustus." So
successful was Rich with his panto-
mime that Garrick, Quinn and others
became exasperated Rich lived to
see pantomime firmly established at
Drury Lane and Covent Garden. He
died IN 1861.
Regarding the subjects of panto.
mines the most popular theme this
year is, we are informed, Cinderella,
with Babes In the Wood" second and
Dick Wilmington" third. II the Lon
don and suburban pantomimes are
taken alone Cinderella" will again be
first, while Babes in the Wood and
Aladdin tie for second place. Ii
London and the provinces Cinderella
has been chosen IA times, Babes IT
the Wood" 10 times and Dick Whit
tington' ten times.
Looking back over the last Il
years we find that the most popular
subjects have been Cinderella,
Aladdin" Dick Wilmington, Rob
inson Crusoe,' and Babes in the
Wood" in the order given.

According to a delightful story OF
Shelley. recounted in the International
Journal Of Ethics by Rev. Bradley Gil
man, the splendid mental equipment
of the poet did not include humor.
In his Enthusiastically impassioned
way, Shelley was deeply interested in
the problem OF immortality. One day
he met nursemaid wheeling very
young child in a perambulator,
Here is a little SOUL he reflected,
recently come to earth, out of the
great unknown preceding human life.
Perhaps he can tell me something
about the great unknown after human
life. The two realms may be one and
the same"
He accosted the infant twice, but OF
course gained no response, only a
blank infantile stare.
Alas! alas!" sighed Shelley. How
very reticent these little creatures
are!"

"sportsmen" from Cleveland to come
out with their dogs, then he will turn
loose the little tame fox and send the
dogs after him. 1t Is expected that
the dogs will catch the little tame fox
and tear him to pieces.
The hunt was scheduled to come of
some time ago. But the invited guests
with their trained hunting dogs failed
to arrive, and the dogs Of the neigh
borhood--just ordinary dogs-were
pressed into service. For some rea-
son brother these uneducated CANNES
failed to enter into the spirit of the
occasion. and could not be induced to
take the trail. The little tame fox was
accordingly again cooped up in his
