From ‘the presence on the list yf “Dante’’ and Sardou's ‘Sor- eeress” and from the schtduled reappearance of “Every- man” the inference {s legitimate that an element of Imysticism will be prominent.

It is to be sup- posed that all the master workmen of the playwrighting guild in England have submitted their wares, “shown thelr goods” for the manager's inspection. Has Mr. [Piriero) produced another ‘tire. Tanqueray” or a second “Trix?” Will there be any’ more furniture throwing? tWhat are’ Mr. Jones and Mr. Haddon Chambers offering Yor our delectation?

His perihelion reached unto God. His long life was as a perpetual Sunbeam, flickering motes of God: like deede Oh!
