MR. STEAD AND THE MORALS OF ACTRESSES.
Amusing Reply by Mr. Bernard. Shaw.
In the July number of the Review Reviews, Sir William Stead gave his First Impressions of the Theatre, in which he seemed to imply that the charge that the stage appealed to the worst passions and combined in itself all the temptations of the world, the Bosh, and the devil,' had never been disproved. He also said that When a youth of sixteen, though he had never been in a theatre, he conceived a romantic passion for an actress he had never seen merely from looking at her photograph in shop windows, Mr Bernard Shaw fends the following amusing reply to Mr Stoad :-
My dear Stend,As a playgoer of nearly forty years standing, a playwright and' a practised critic of the theatre, I have read your maiden effort with many ohuckles.
As to your autobiographical beginnings, we knew already that you were very badly brought up, and are a person of outrageous- ly exocasive temperament. All that need be said in this connection is to point out that if you had been taken to the pantomi- me. when you were six, and thereafter 1376 regularly every year, you would have com- pounded for all later temptations in your childhood by a perfectly innocent adoration of the fairy queen, and would have been as proof at twenty-one against the leading. lady's make-up as you are now against the blandishments of a lady journalist. The real danger of 'cloistered virtue' is that SUITE of 2 ROOMS, on the Ground-when it is let out of the cloister (as it needs A floor of the Annex, suitable for
sooner or later) it is duped by the must be tawdriest wiles of vice, and beglamuured by attractions that no self-respecting pro- fligate would deign to look twice at.

expe. dition, and this one has suffered from the usual paucity of the material contribu- tions of geographical enthusiasm, and its striking success has been the work of the few immediately concerned. Explo rers generally avail themselves of every advance of science and every novelty of invention, but the Discovery had none of these things. She is simply an old fashioned whaler, strengthened, in- deed, to resist ice pressure to a greater extent than is contemplated by the Aberdeen boats. The only touch of modernity is the explosion of the old lime juice theory for the prevention of scurvy. Some attacks had resulted from the use of tinned meats, so the preserved foods were thrown over and under an exclusive diet of fresh meat,

From beginning to end there was swing in the piece; applause and laughter abound- ed; and when the final fall of the curtain came the audience went away satisfied with the entertainment provided for them. The opening chorus went so well as to promise an excellent performance and the promise was fully realised as the piece progressed.

TOKIO, October 19. Marshal Oyama reported on Tuesday that the enemy's force seems to be gradually decreasing in the direction of our Right Army, only a small detach- went continuing active.
The enemy beaten at Penhsiho is retreating in a north-easterly direction. In the direction of our Central Army the enemy last night made some assaults, but all were repulsed, and to-day there has been only an occasional exchange of cannonnding.
In front of our Loft Army the enemy is occasionally sending an indirect fire.
