BANNED PLAY Is HARMLESS
"The Coronation" Suppressed
by London Censor, Simple.
tBy Gable to The Tribune.

London, Jan. 29.-The one-act play.
entitled THE Coronation" which failed
to pass the censor, was produced pri-
vately at the Savoy Theatre last night.
II is a poor play, but quite harmless.
Briefly, the story Of THE Coronation"
is that Hcnricus XVI. the young King
Of Omnisterre. was so moved by a peti
tion thrown into his carriage by a woman
OF the morning of lis coronation that
he refused to be crowned or to take the
coronation oath pledging him to be the
protector Of his people except on. GER
tain conditions.
Those were that the ceremony SHOULD
take place on the steps of the cathedral.
so that 1t might be seen by the poorest
of his subjects; that { crown should
not be used; that the regalia should be
sold for the benefit Of the poor, and that
House Of Representatives. elected by
women as well as men, should be at
once summoned to hear his views on
social subjects.
Neither in person nor in any feature of
King Henricus is there the slightest re-
Election on King George. All the critics
are agreed that the censors' action js
unjustifable.

CAFE MARTIN TO MOVE
Restaurant Soon to Get Into the

FOLLOWS UPTOWN TREND
From University Place to Old
Delmonico's, and Now to
Theatre District.

Twenty-sixth street and Broadway is
TO see the Cafe Martin for only few
months more, for Jean Martin, the pro-
prietor Of the famous French restaurant
has decided TO follow the uptown move
ment and establish a new Cafe Martin
somewhere in the neighborhood Of Long
Acre Square Just where the new site is
Mr.. Martin is not prepared to say at
present. as there are some details TO be
attended to before the deal which ne
plans can be carried out.
Just what disposition will he made If
the ole property he does not know, nut
it will not be conducted as a restaurant
The passing Of Martins is a significant
feature of the uptown trend of the the
atres and restaurants, for it will leave
that part of Broadway which lies be-
low Both street without any prominent
restaurant representative.
Jean Martin and his brother Louis
came to New York in 1888. They had
acquired WOIhiuS NdbltdI III NOA'ii
where they conducted the Hotel Inter
national in the days of the French Canal
Company That famous concern was
eminently successful in making the
money fly, even if it could not accom-
plish a like feat with the dirt
Martins was first al 9th street and
University Place, but later the propri-
etors acquired the old Delmonico res
taurant, at Goth street. Recently Louis
Martin left the partnership to manage a
restaurant of his own at Broadway and
4lst street. The restaurant has always
possessed a certain individuality, for 1t
has succeeded in remaining In most
essentials a European rather than an
American restaurant. As a centre Of
New ears activities II has always held
a leading place. which may or may not
be due 10 the fact that on such Occa-
sions women were permitted to smoke.
The novelty of such a policy has worn
off. but at one time it was enough to
render Martins unique as regards New
York. Patrons of the restaurant are
fearful lest Martin. in removing the rest
Of his effects for the uptown march, will
leave his atmosphere behind him.
