The more one sees of Pollard's Lilliputians, the more one recognises the aptness of their folkn me. Bwift's Liliputians were not juveniles, but little adulie, whose manners.

The trade of the continental nations at the and habils were a satirical reflex of the wabjects of the first. George Rex, Pollard's titan was comparatively small; Gər many su a Lilliputians sea shildren, but their performance Power did not yet exist, and most of the nazal

Lilliputian, Gulliver appeared a gîmat; it is ★ temptation to speculate how the grown-up who applaud them appear to these loverly drained children, to whom adult mannerisme, adult emotious, adult ways, seems to be a restraint. This system could not go on for ever. River, Canton continued the headquarters of

We acquit them of conscious, deliberate estire; but squirm under a feeling that there is something, unconscions though it be, going on on the stage before us that is dangerously near to biting satire. That shrimp of a maiden who portrays-- *** disonering the opening performanos of the *Belle of New York" on Saturday night—who portrays the women many times divorced, how are we to regard her? Whence comes that cynicism, that air of wide experience, that amazing air of knowing all about it that now and again makes us shrink, like the father in Austoy's "Vice Versa," until we lose the Galliver outlook and imagine it is a full blown actress of mature years and experience we are watching P Did we ever barst a pair of gloves, and soqdira auch nahing sides, with such a feel -ing of equality, of rapport, when laughingly applauding a comedian of the airy of Harry

We do not. We cannot help ourselves. We "forget it,” ma the irresiste ibly funny little Bowery boy bids os. Only now and then the undenishly young Toisen remind us of actualities, and the constant feel- ing of surpriss, that "rach small heads can Darry all they know" to paraphrase a well known line of Gray's, but adds to the charm and fascination of the performance. No amount of verbal description could carry conviction; this unique crowd of performers must be seen to be betiered, and they cannot be seen, once, an on Saturday night, without being believed in. Yet it is not the compelling admiration obtained by ennningly trained animals-far from it. Training, patient, able, arduous, long/continued, there must have been, to account for the stage craft, the precision of movement, the admirable "business," but it is mot merely a miracle of performing fans wonen. Bebind and within all this product of drill there is an amazingis precocións intelligence, a weirdly subtle appreciation of all the features and demands of the work in hand, that leaves DE still amazed and still admiring. The temptation in to adopt the theory of the auditor who always wolves things simply, even the tricks of oon- jurors and magicians. They're not so young as they pretend to be," says he, don't tell me they're children." Against that solution however, is the easily ascertainable fact that they are children, many of them practically of numery age. Ai devoted parents we abudder at the sudden suspicion that perhaps all Australian children are born with adult brains, but Mr. Follard, appealed to, laughs this way."Uff the stage," he assures as
