ADELPHI THEATRE TO COME DOWN.

BIG REBUILDING SCHEME

TO BE STARTED.

One of London's famous play- houses, the Adelphi Theatre, In the Strand, which for many yeara was the home of melodrama, is to be demolished and rebuilt,

A start is to be made with the work immediately and it is expect- Jed that the new theatre will be ready for re-opening on September

1.

The rebuilding is part of the policy of the Associated Theatres Properties (London), Ltd.. the which the American firm in magnates, the brothers Lee and [J. J. Shubert, have great interests. They control, in addition to the Adelphi, the Gaiety, the Shaftes bury, the Apollo and His Majesty's.

Some years ago the Gaiety was reconstructed, and as soon as exist. ing and lefting arrangements per- mit, the company intends to do the same with the other houses.

"We intend to make the Adelphi one of the most up-to-date theatres in London," a director of the com pany said. "In the new house the about money capacity will be £650 per performance, an increase of about £250.

"The scating accommodation will consist of 654 stalls (many more by than at present), 438 dress circle Peak local seats, and 428 balcony seats,

This mysterious criminal at tempt is puzzling the police.

It is the more baffling as being the second attempt which has been made within a few weeks against well known racing people.

The first was directed against the Count Bruno de Boisgelin, whose colours-like those of the Count de Vienne-are very popular on French racecourses.

Count Bruno also received a ad. mysterious parcel like that dressed to the Countess de Vienne; and it exploded on being opened.
