Mr. Billy Merson, the comedian, said that in his opinion copyright in stage clothes and make-up is "ali nonsense."
The decision was much discussed in London theatrical circles.
If Mr. Chaplin's peculiar clothes and make-up are his own copyright what about Mr. George Robey's thick black eyebrows, Sir Harry Lauder's comic walking-stick, Mr. Mr. Vincent Evans, opening the fr. Billy Bennett's army Loots, and Harry Tate's famous moustache, and case for the Director of Public Pro-other almost a gentleman" secutious, said that Ali had been out? employed at the Zoological Gardens from about 1929. He was employed only in the summer months for the purpose of training clephants that children might ride on them. In the winter he would go to his home, which was in Calcutta San Dwe was a Burmese and by religion a Christian, while Said Ali was a Mahomedan. San Dwe came to England with five other men in charge of a white elephant, and afterwards went to America and returned for a short time in the spring When the elephant return- ed to Burma the authorities at the Zoo asked whether the accused might remain. Two elephants had been giving trouble in March, and it was suggested that the accused might remain and look after these
two.
Elephant Driver's Tips.
In June last, Ali returned to England from Calcutta and, took over the care of these two elephants, and San Dye was then sent to the sanitorium, where he had charge of the baby elephants, but did not have to drive them. He (Mr. Evans) mentioned the drivers of elephants had an op- portunity of picking up extra money by means of tips-pennies given to the elephants. Ali was paid £9 10s. a week, and his tips brought him in about £3 a week, while San Dwe's wages was only £s a week and no tips. When the white elephant returned San Dwe was given accommodation over the Tapir House, which Ali shared with him
I would not care twopence if someone came on dressed to re semble me. There is nothing original in what any of us do; we bare all copied someone else, even if we have done so subcon- sciouily.
Chaplin would be just as good without his funny clothes, George Robey just as funny without eye brows, Harry Lauder just as suc- cessful without his twisted walk- ing-stick. The things that really matter are the personality and the ability of the artist.
Mr. Billy Bennett said: I think that Mr. Chaplin is quite right to stop the copying. If people be gan to copy me would certainly stop them if I could.

Scene At Tapir House. Inspector Askew went to the Zoo and examined the rooms at the Tapir House. In the living room, leaning up against the wall by the door leading into the bed room, he found a blood-stained sledge hammer and a green wooden box belonging to Ali, which had been broken open, either with the sledge hammer or with a pickaxe which was found in the bed room.
