LONDON, Februa; How long should a stage kiss last? Is a question which has been agitating the London theatrical profession. The matter was brought to a head by several actresses who are decidedly opposed to realis- tic embraces on the stage and who, es are to be given, insist on of the “peck’” variety. These actresses have encountered opposition, however, not only from other actress: es, but from producers and directors who insist on realism. _ One producer contended that a kiss- ing scene in his play should continue at least 65 seconds, and during re- hearsals he held a_stop-watch on the two persons to make certain that his order was carried out.

A CONFERENCE REGARDING STRIKES, COAL MINERS AND MINE OPERATOR of the miners’ union, meeting in Philadelphia vesterday for a conference on tie strike situation. Copyrisht by P. & A Prince Should Ride, But Carefully, | Britons Say; Falls Mean But Little| By the Associated Press LONDON, February 6—By all means let the Prince of Wales con- tinue his hunting, but also let him deny himself the thrill of very dan- gerous jumps. This, in effect, s the consensus of opinion’ expressed in the British press since the heir to the throne was laid up with a broken collarbone. The case of one prominent British hunter, who says he has broken nearly ‘every bone in his body, is ad- vanced to show that the prince, after lal, has not suffered many accldents and still has a lot of falls ahead of him before he becomes a _veteran hunter. Thus far he has broken only his right and left collarbones. Comdr. Louis Greig offers an inter- esting _explanation of the prince’s method of riding and his abllity to “fall soft.” Comdr. Greig says there are two schools of riding in England. The old “grip” school is confined chiefly to the army, and riders of this type must practic bareback with- out stirrups for six months to enable them to stick to any horse under all conditions. The commander says this style of riding endangers the rider’'s neck in case of a fall, since he sticks 80 close to his horse that he is likely to be crushed. The Prince of Wales belongs to a new school which be- lieves in balance without grip. Rid- ers of this type lose thelr oftener than those of the school, but they fall easily and away from the horses. Consequently they are less in danger of serious injury. The newspapers agree that the prince must have recreation and exer- cise, which riding alone gives him, away from the inquisitive and curious crowds which follow him at golf and tennis. They express admiration for his pluck and courage, but generally agree that he -has demonstrated his prowess sufficiently and should now take fewer risks. SOUGHT RUSS AIR DATA.
