He likes to be the Board of Trade subject their candi-applanded; in fact he will, if you wish, dates for certificates of competency in the confess himself a glutton for applause-i? But he mercantile marine, the Imperial Merit is offered at the right moment. chant Service Guild are vory actively has come to the decision that he can have ngaged in opposing these tests on the too much of it-at other moments. If he grounds that they are entirely out of appears, for once to be modest thero is accordance with seafaring conditions, are reason for his modesty, as he himself. absurdly gorous, and, further, are tho! shows in a characteristic personal appeal means of gross injustice. Quito recently which was handed on his behalf to the 25% Cash Discount will be a deputation from the Guild consisting audience at the Kingsway Theatre, where of "Captain T. V. Walker, Chairman of the Management Committee, Captain A. 1. Tema, Vice-Chairman, and Mr. T. W. Moure, Suretary, waited upon Mr. Robertson, M.P., Parliamentary Secre. pary of the Board of Trade, urging that these tests should be altogether revised and made in conformity with conditions s they prevail and are required at sca. Today the Guild have received the fal lowing letter from the Board of Trade which is of considerable importance to

Sir, I am. directed by the Board of Trade to inform you that they have given very careful consideration to the repre- sentations which have been made to them with regard to the standard of feria certificates of competency on and after vision to be required from candidates for January 1st, 1914.
"John Bull's Other Island" was revived.
Mr Shaw tactfully asked the audience few questions. Thus :
Are you aware that you would get out of the theatre half an hour earlier if you listened to the play in silence and did not applaud until the fall of the corfain ??
Do you really consider that a perfor ance is improved by continual interrup tions, however complimentary they may be
to the actors and the author?
Have you considered that in all good plays tours and laughter lo, very close together, and that it must be very dis- treming to an actress who is trying to keep her imagination Azed on pathetic emotions to bear bursts of laughter breiking out at something she is supposed to be uncon- scious of?
