is responsible for a good deal of the
grumbling at the inconsiderateness of
noisy parties who come late to the the

who are staying at hotels find it difficult
to dine in comfort and get to the play in
time for the first curtain.
Londons plan of a curtain-raiser to
amuse the early-comers has never found

expense without additional income. 1t

of group of advanced women thinkers
who' favor anarchy as the particular cult
to give them things different from things
as they are. The daughter of the house,
a college girl, pines for an anarchist
lover, which induces her regular young
man to pose as one. Then the young

Solves Problem.

The hundreds of English actors
whose bosoms are heaving with pa
triotic pride. but who are prevented
by their dalliance with art in America
from aiding their country's cause at
the front, may find an escape from
the dilemma by following the example
of one of their stay-at-home profess
sional brethren in London. The actor
in question is W. Banker, known TO
the trade as Apollo. Because of a
number of people depending upon him,
he feels that he is unable to enlist
However, he offers to give his usual
salary of f100 a week to the wives or
dependents of 100 men willing to en-
list. reserving to himself only an
amount equal to the pay of a private
in the army.-New York Telegraph.

"a Pair Of SINeH."

"A Pair of Skies" with Ralph Herr,
the most conspicuous farce success of
recent years. will return to the Belasco
Theater next week.
In the cast are such well-known
players as Ralph Herr. Marion BaIIOu.
Mark Smith. Richie Ling, StanhOpe
Wheatcroft, jr, Ethel jackson. Mary
Harper. Walter Allen. lone Bright, and
a score of others. This play ran a year
in New York and is just finishing a six
months engagement at the Cort Thea
ter. Chicago. 1t has been such a tre-
mendous success, that there have been
five companies presenting il through
the country. The company that will
be here is made up of the best players
of both the Chicago and the New York
companies.
The basic idea of "A Pair of Skies"
is that of two prosperous pill makers
who cannot agree over the way to
conduct their business. Their many
quarrels are taken to their attorney to
adjust and when the lawyer finally
reaches the end OF his resources he
suggests that they settle their trou
bles for once and all by playing a
game of poker. the result being that
the winner is to conduct the business
unmoIested for a year. while the loser
is to act as the others butler.

Ringing Up Late.

At the Little Theater the curtain does
not ring up until a quarter of nine. In
spite OF this apparent tardiness the per-
formanCe is over at the usual hour. a lit
tie before II. and no one has any feeling
that the play has not been of the usual
length. Mr.. Ames achieves this result
by making the usual waits between the
acts very short, except the one after the
second act, which is three or four min
utes longer than the usual entr'acte This
wait is emphasized on the program with
the intimation that the women. as well
as the men in the audiences, are expect
ed to leave their seats and gain the re-
lief OF a change from the sitting posture
by repairing to the coffee-room. This
brings every one back for the last act
in a refreshed condition and prepared to
enjoy Il more.
