Now artistes, new revues, such there be-who exceed their dresses and new gaga-these are duties not so much through mis-some of the attractions offered by the new Our Cabaret, a company of placed zeal as the desire of show- ter London artistes who commence ing their authority. Such excess is inevitably' bourd to meet with its reward in the shape of a smart rap over the knuckles by the magistrate or other authority to whose notice it is brought. The police officer knows this and is not likely to prejudice his chances merely for the sake of a little' self-glorification. If a moral is to be learnt from recent regrettable misunderstandings and their sequel in court proceedings, it is rather that the public should| awaken more fully to a sense of their joint responsibility with the police in the preservation of law and order and respect for rem gulations.
