BACK.

MANAGERS MUST BE ABLE

TO ECONOMISE,

The dissolution of partnership between Mr. Jack Waller and Mr. Herbert Clayton marks the close of a chapter of theatrical history in which a sum of over £3,000,000 has been involved...

Mr. Waller said:-

Each of us will put on shows of his own, and I am already busy on a new production for which I shall write the music in conjunction with Mr. Joseph Tonbridge.

"Looking back on the puriod of my association with Mr. Clayton, I find that our companies must have handled more than £5,000,000. We paid the Government £780,000 in entertainment tax in five years.

"No No Nanette, which I purchased in America, took more than a million pounds at the Palace. Of this £200,000 was profit.

Then there were large profits

Dotoolist Bergoaht Koilet stated that the defcridants were all found hiding in different parts of the ship. Some of them had a lot of money, whilst the others had none at ali. The officer said that times were very bad in Singapore at pre- sent, and this explained why the mea wanted to get back to China, Regarding the defendant's pro- perty, the officer said that the fol- lowing had some money in Straits currency.

"I have several ideas firmly axed in my mind. The first is that the English stage wants British authors and British composers. Leaving No No Nanette on one side, I can safely say that the average Amorican

musical spectaenlar comedy his lost more than it has made

"The enormous foeg demanded by American authors are positively not worth paying. I have paid enor mous sums in this way, but that is no reason why I shouldn't at this time see the folly of paying enor- mous sums to America when equally good material, and possibly better, can be obtained in this country. The trouble is that theatrical man- agore in the past have had more faith in the work of aliens than in the work of their own compatriots. I have regained my faith in my own countrymen.

Economics must be made in the theatre if managers are to continue to pay. An actor is not worth £300 a week unless by his own magnetism be can bring that amount of profit into the theatre in the same time. And there are not many ariste like that."

MYSTERY FIRE AT THE ADMIRALTY.

BRIGADE FORCED TO WEAR

GAS MASKS,

Firemen wore gas masks in fight ing a mysterious fire which brke out in an old painted-panol con- ference chamber in the Admiralty offices, Whitehall last month,

The damage was only slight, but when a dozen fire enginar and two escapes responded to the alarm at 5.30 a., donse volumes of smoke which filled the corridors and lift wolls gave the impression of a sorious fire,

Choking fumes wero given off from the burning paint of the wooden walls, covered with the countless coals of generations.

Intense heat was generated by the burning of earities behind the panelled walls, which were filled with sawdust by the original build- ere, to-make the room sound-proof, A quantity of furniture and. carpets was destroyed, but the bri gade confined the cubreak to the ground floor "chamber in which it originated.

No official reports or papers were burned.

A petrol-shampoo was revealed to be the cause of the death of Mrs. Eugenie Lilian Grabara Clan, aged thirty-six, of Ponsford-road, Kowle, Bristol, at an inquest held at Bristol.

His Worship then asked if this as the biggest batch Sergeant Kellet has had. Replying in the affirmative, the sergeant stated that stowaways were always given a chance to pay for their passages but in this case the Chief Officer could not adopt this course because he would have exceeded the number of passengers the ship was allowed to

carry.

It was stated that ten officials counted up the tickets on board and these numbered 1,446 dock, passeng- ers. The tickets were bought at the shipping office at Singapore, but if
