Mr. LOWNE, as the baronet, made
effective play with a quite impossible part in a quite futile situation,
and held the reflector up to the best Mayfair Cockney with "_Georginar_
explains." He needn't apologise; we know it's true to life! The piece of
acting that most cheered me was Mr. GRAHAME HERINGTON as the
philanderer's manservant--a very tactful and observant performance. Mr.
FRANK ESMOND, the philanderer, seemed ill at ease (partly art but partly
nature, I judged, perhaps unjustly). Miss LETTICE FAIRFAX as the little
goose was what I believe is known as adequate.

The Food Shortage.
Letter received by a schoolteacher:--
"Dear Miss,--Will you please let Sam out about 20 minutes to 12
o'clock. His Granma is undergoing an operation this morning and
I want Sam for dinner.
Yours truly, Mrs. ----."

From a report of the British Music Convention:--
"'How the British piano can raise the trade to Imperil dignity'
was the subject of an address."--_Scotsman_.
We hope the British piano will resist the temptation.
