 LONDON, March 24.-The Anglo American entente cordiale, which seems to have been cemented by the settlement of the debt question, certainly does not extend to the British theatrical world.
 British theatrical circles are still abhorrent of all theatrical things which savor of America.
 There are continuous incidents which show how the wind blows-a few, for instance:
 Marie Tempest, English actress, appeared in London for the first time in eight years in the American Good Gracious, Annabelle!" She was cheered, but there came cries from the gallery: we are cheering for you, Marie, not the play-its rotten!" Marie had the curtain rung down.
 Beverly Baxter, erudite English editor, asks: Does America take Clare Hummer seriously?"
 Hannen Swatter, who is a self created authority in London on things American, declares:
 "There is no room for the Ameri- can nonsense which Marie Tempest thought was play because New York laughed at it. . If we want to hear Americans talk about money we prefer to hear what they say to MT, Stanley Baldwin and the strick- en nations of Europe"
 There is an announcement that the Labor Ministry will prevent Paul Whiteman's band coming to England.
 The Home Office is being urged to prevent the colored revue, "Shuffle Along" being presented in London.
 Earl Derr Bigger's "Three's a Crowd" was roundly denounced as American drivel" by the critics
 These are just few of the incl dents which indicate that the Anglo American entente cordiale does not extend to the theater.
 There is one American actress who has forced paeans of praise from the English critics, however, and that is Tallulah Bankhead, daughter of the prominent Alabama statesman. She is appearing in London in 'The Dancer" with Sir Gerald Du Maur- fer, and her performance has been warmly praised, although the critics have apparently wept bitter tears that an American actress was able to satisfy them.
 Radio enthusiasts in London have scored on the powerful London press Under pressure from the theatrical managers, the London papers refused to publish the nightly broadcastine programs, the theater folk charging that this was not fair to them, in asmuch as they paid large sums fol advertising.
 | The ban against the radio pro- grams lasted just one week; ther ! the broadcasting company began in serting it's program in paid adver. tisement in the one evening paper that had the smallest circulation. The circulation of this paper leaped up, ward by thousands over night. The other newspaper publishers saw the light and immediately rescinded their decision and began publishing the radio programs free of charge, and some of the publishers have even made so bold as to start radio col umns in their papers. 'The world do move" as Frank Ward O'Malley says, but it takes a lot of radio sparks to make the British news paper world move.
 Queen Mary is in her glory in her fields of Windsor daffodils. The Queen is a great lover of daffodils and has acres and acres of them planted at Windsor and thoroughly enjoys gathering great armsful of them herself.
 Princess Mary's baby has caused a great commotion in London Chest erfield House is continually surround ed by crowds of people who wait hours and hours to see the baby as it is taken out for it's daily airing and it's frequent visits to Bucking- ham Palace. An enterprising street hawker is selling postcards which are allegedly pictures of the son of the Prnicess, and about the hawker's
