 other European alliances mean merely that the continent is choosing sides for another big fight"
 The first heckler, and the most violent, had to be dragged from his seat by two policemen. This heckler wore an Amer ican army uniform on which were for eign service stripes and two medals.
 You disgrace your uniform, you horrid man." shouted a fashionably gowned woman who, in the excitement, had left her box and rushed to the exit lobby. The man started to answer, but a po- 1iceman muzzled his mouth with his hand. On the advice of a judge who had quit his seat to instruct the policemen as to their duty under the law, the call for endorsements went in.
 The hecklng was from the gallery and the second balcony Sir Philip took the disturbance complacently but became annoyed when occupants of the first box seats, becoming indignant, shouted Drag 'em outv' Kick 'em out!"
 Please" finally said Sir Philip to his friendly auditors, most of whom could not hear him, don't say anything. Don't shout at them. You're making it worse They'll tire pretty soon"
 The manager ascended the stage and stood beside Sir Philip and smiled, and so did the speaker. There came a lull An announcement by the manager was .'Hurrah for DeValera,"
 Sir Philip seized the next lull, saying; Don't you men up there know I'm your friend. I'm here to tell Irelands side, too" More misses and boos descended Quiet was restored when the reinforce ments arrived and were stationed about the gallery and second balcony
 We're sure giving this audience its moneys worth,' said the last man evicted.
