regarding a transaction whereby

the LE.C. Trust received £12,500 from another company as under writing commission.

Mr. Fox: Was the only pay- mont made to the trust by this company in respect of their liability a conserved cheque for £12,500?- Yea, and another similar amount for $10,000, which was the sum the vendors had agreed to pay to the L.B.C. Trust for the formation of the company.

It was ascertained by Mr. Fox that, the L.B.C. Trust having falled to carry out their underwriting obligations, the sum of £12,500 was returned to the company, with the exception of £400.

Mr. Fox: Do you know, secretary of the promoting body, why the statutory meeting of the trust was not held? No, excepté that it might not have been con- Įvenient.

Mr Fox: It seems to me it might have been very convenient to mem- bers of the public who had sub- scribed the £10,000. Do you

think I should be speaking too atrongly if I went so far as to say that the non-holding of the statu- |tory meeting was a fraud on these people -Whateve. the position | w88. the holding of a meeting

Mr. Fox said there were three directors of the Modern Home- steads Company, and asked who appointed Mr. Bell as chairman.

Mr. Llewellyn: Mr. Griffin was not then a director, and only Mr. Bell and Mr. Cantlon were pre- sent.

Mr. Fox: So that Mr. Cantion appointed Mr. Bell.

"£22,000 Paper Profit"

Mr Bell, giving evidence, agreed that the promotion profit to the L.B.C. Trust on the formation of the United Caterers' Company was £22,000, but it was only a paper profit; owing to the fact that the directors took shares. In the com- pany and lost their money.

paya. She also has a middle-aged guardian, one Lambertier, a rich banker who has helped her in business; and-Maurice is jealous, For Mauries, though only an un- known young painter, knows the Lambertler typo. He also knows the Valerie type; and, although he loves his wife passionately, he is conscious of certain possibilities— and when Lambertier rings up his wife after eleven p.m. his jealousy flames forth.

The wife "llas like truth," but

as often as his suspicions are al- fayed they blaze up anew; and, as the play proceeds, Valerie gets deeper and deeper into the mire. In the end, Maurice goes to Lam- bertier's house and strangles him. He then confesses his crime to the police, and the curtain falls on his going to meet his captors, while his wife swears that she will get him off. And, as she has let us sea quite clearly the sort of 'man Lambertier was, and as we all know the usual fate of a. French citizen charged with a "crime pas- sionel," the ending of the drama has every right to be regarded an

happy one.

The whole thing is quite splen- :didly acted by Mr. Crane Wilbur an the husband and Miss Mary New comb as the wife. The art they display is a delight. Whether speaking or listening theys are al ways graphic. The nervous force of their work is of a quality we pea oftener on the French stage than on the English; and again and again it sent a manifest shiver through the audience. Not a word, not a glance failed of its effect; and had the brillant young French-

man who constructed the play been prosent, we think he would have been satiofed.

Mias Newcomb made a modest speech of thanks.at the end of the avening. She and her partner (not forgetting the "stager" of the play, Mr. Guthrie McClintic) had given us an entertainment which eary lover of good acting should see-HMW. in "Daily Telegraph."
