The entire company started very sprightly from the rise of the eurtain, and throughout the play John Hagan and Frank Atkinson delighted the audience. These two players are comedians par 'ex cellence.

"Who's Robinson," in which John Hagan, Frank Atkinson and Lew Marks featured, was the oat standing sketch of the evening. As inebriated gentlemen, the trio were simply perfect.

John and Victor Hagan were loudly applauded when they ang Some Song, the humour intro duced into it provoking aproarious laughter,

The dancing was superb particu. larly the Totem Dance" featur. ing Winifred Dalle and the girls," The costumes worn in this dance were magnifcently grotesque. Miss Dalle is an actress of great talent, and whatever role she may be pui to, she always carries it out ex- cellently

"The Fan Dance" by Miss Vivienne, Towerzcy was particularly charming and afforded the dancer scope to show her fine talent.

LORD CHIEF JUSTICE CALLS FOR SELF CONTROL.

| COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEAL.

The Lord Chief Justice and Justices Avory and Branson dis- missed the appeal of James Joseph Power, aged 34, ar ex-constable pf the-Birmingham City-Police;- against sentence of death passed Jou him at Birmingham Assizes for the murder of Olive Gordon Turner, aged 18, whose body was found in the Birmingham Canal.

The allegation was that Power necosted Miss Turner and a young man, Broomhead, who was in her bupant on the banks of the catal about eleven o'clock on a night last July and, knocking the young nuta down, carried off Miss Turner.

Sir Reginald Coventry, K.C., for Power, said that Power at the trial called evidence to show that he was in a public-house more than a mile Erom the canal at 10 o'clock "au the fateful night.

Mr. Norman Birkett, K.C. for the Crown, was asked by Lord Hewart whether Power's wife was called to give evidence to support her husband's alibi at the trial.

Ole Birkett replied that the story was that she was all that No- night and had gone to bed. body in the house was called to support the alibi.

At this point, Power, who occupi- ed a seat in the-dock, jumped up and. leaning forward, cried: N; becauer I was telling the truth. Nobody saw ane go to the canal bank that evening.

Lord Hewart reminded Power that he should control himself und

uve his ease to his counsel.

Power: I am under a murder sentence and I a telling the truth.

Dismissing the appeal. Lord Hewart said the evidence of id tification was both striking and re- markable.
