The probably the first play in history full report is given in the Sunday neted on the English stage in pub- He on a Sunday night.

When about a thousand" fert of the film had passed across the screen the picture was stopped, the stage was highted, and a scene frem the film was re-enacted by Mr. Ivor Novello and two other players...

Later the light faded out and the film continued.

How Discovery Was Made. During the past year or so stories had circulated in the district of the mysterious appearance at night of

According to Mr. W. Weaver, landlord of the King William Inn, Curry Rivel, the masquerade began some three winters ago, when the strange "woman" was first noticed. At last the villagers determined to solve the mystery. On hearing a few nights ago that "the lady ! had been seen, Mr. Weaver jumped on his bicycle, and, accompanied by & Mr. Chorley, went along the road until he caught up to her.

A Precedent. '.' Hitherto, no play has ever been permitted to take place on the stage on Sunday evening, and even if some dialogue is introducida and seizing exting Craigengower Cricket Club an "concert" between two vaudeville

players, no costutaes or scenery is permitted.

This is accordance with the Lord Chamberlain's orders and applies

to theatres and music-halls. Cine mas come under the London County Council for Hcensing purposes, but is will not be surprising if the theatres complain-at-one-more divergence in the rules controlling

them and the cinemas.

The theatres, indeed, all enter tainments, including cinemas on Sunday are subject to the prov sions of the Sunday Observance Act of 1781.

The Explanation.

Mr. Read raid: "I was driven to the venture because I was acutely influenced by what appeared to me tobe, as reflected in the daily Press, a gross degeneration both of manners and morals.
