OLD-TIAIE LONDON TIIIcATER
MANAGER HAD TROUBLES

The London County Council has
placed a memorial tablet outside 8
CanOnbury Square, 1slingtOn, where
once lived the famous tragedian Sam
uel Phelps. In his own words, Phelps
took. in 1914, an obscure theater in the
north Of London called Sadier's Wells,
and nearly the whole of my brethren
ia the profession and many out of il
said it could not last q fortnight. 1t
lasted eighteen years, and my stock in
trade chiefly consisted OF the plays Of
Shakespeare"
The County Council in the course of
a history of the man and his house
recalls the reforms which he insti-
tuted. The passage throws an interest
ing light on playgoers Of those days:
THE friers of fish, vendors of oysters
and other costerm onger scum accumu-
lated around the doors and were first
got rid of. The noisy sellers of beer
inside the theater were next removed.
They resisted and offered a large
weekly consideration for leave to sell
and call. The management was OBJ
durate and rooted them out.

expelled. Orders were given to the

difficult to be enforced. as the women
smuggled babies in under their shawls
and aprons, and even rolled them up

rience OF such articles led TO their de-
lection at the doors and the play soon
began TO go on without the shrill In
terruptions consequent on the unroll-
ing OF dozens of these unfortunate
little mummies every Night.
But the most & t0lerable defile-
ment OF the place remained. The out
rageous language was unchecked, and
while that lasted any effectual purifi-
cation OF the audience and the estab-
hshment OF decency were impossible.
Mr.. Phelps found an old act OF Parlia-
ment in which there was a clause
visiting the use of bad language with
a certain fine on proving the offense
before a magistrate.
ON several occasions the play was
stopped to have an offender removed;
on other occasions he went into the
gallery with a cloak over his theatrical
dress to point out some other offender
who had escaped the vigilance of the
police. Within a month the Jack
ketch party, thoroughly disheartened
and amazed, gave in and not an in
terruptiOn was heard from the begin
ming to the end of a five-act tragedy"

dent Tart arose at Gas a. NJ. today,

the trail of Colonel Roosevelt and
started for New Hampshire. pausing
only for some bacon and eggs at the
hotel.
The President is delighted with his
Boston reception. The cheers of the
Legislators and the enthusiasm last

in automobiles to the North Station,
where they left in a special train for
Nashua.
During the day the President makes
a series of red hot speeches right
among the progressive cohorts of Gov
ernor Bass, friend of Colonel RooSe-
welt. The President is known to be-
lieve that if he could meet the voters
Of New Hampshire face to face and
speak out his views they would be
with him. Hence the hitting of the
trail of the colonel.
After speeches in Nashua, Concord
land Manchester, the President returns
TO Boston tonight, where he will at
tend the banquet of the street rail-
way men at the Somerset. He will
leave on the Federal Express for

COUNCILMAN MYERS SAW BLUE
LIGHT IN FORCING CLOSED
SUNDAY"

NEW YORK Special A blue
law revival was tried on Lodi. n. J..
sunday, but it made so little of a hit
that II probably will be cut out next
Sunday.
Lodi is a small factory settlement
between Passaic and Hackensack, with
a Neapolitan population. on last
Tuesday the Borough Council passed
a resolution which ordered all bust
ness in Lodi be suspended on the Sab
bath. Councilman Edward IL. Myers
was one of those who voted for the
closing plan. He is a local news
dealer.
Chief of Police Davis interpreted
the order to include Myers. so when
the newsman drove his wagon through
the streets yesterday morning and dis
tributed papers the police promptly
grabbed him. He was arraigned be-
fore his father-in-law, Recorder An
drew ID. Kerr, who released him
Myers was rearrested and rearraigned
before Recorder Kerr, who again dis
missed the complaint, but told Myers
to appear before him this morning.
n barber, a real estate man and a
fruit dealer were also arrested. They
got instructions similar to Myers
Enraged at the fact that the opera
ton of the trolley cars was not bann-
ed, several men stopped a car on it's
journey through Lodi, but a force of
policemen convinced them of the err
ror of their ways.
A great deal of rebellion was noticed
i'm the course of the day. 1t is be-
lieved that Lodi will run without re-
Strictions next Sunday.
