Latest News of Great Britain's Theatrical World. LONLON. April 3 0. ( Special. )4t1io mtv Rreat suretss nut (It? by Ivute fuller as l,ydia Languish In Lewis AVnIIor'si present tine revival of "The Ri vals" Is specially in teres tins i'i view of hoi" professional antecedents. She besan her career in musical com edy as far hack as the production of "Pepita" at Toole's Theater in 1SSS. and until recently no m:in;iKer not even , the very wisest of t lie lot ever sus pected that she could do anything: but dnp: with a small, sweet voice, and " upeak the pointless stuff that fiie mu sical comedy authors had provided. For years she did this kind of thing at the (laifty and elsewhere, and then liv some m iracie she trot a chance to play a cliaractcr part In a new play produced by Kvelyn Millard at the Cri terion a couple of years asro. In this Jter performance as a poor work i?irl( betrayed and deserted by the bad man of the piece, nave the critics such a shook of surprise that they used up every available adject ive In a vain at tempt to say that she was one of the most trit'ted character actresses on the British staee. Since then every manager has been asking himself why on earth Jie didn't secure the prize years ago. The case of Kate Cutler is hut one , of many. Iespised by the managers jot dramatic theaters, musical comedy t has been t he n ursery of some of t hose I who are included in our very brief list of first-rate actresses. Far and away ' the Rreateet of them all is l:thel Irv- , inK. who commenced as a dancer, se cured, after lone wnitinr. a few lines ; to speak, and then, bavins? jtven years of time and talent t ail sorts of mu sical comedy, at loniith was asked to try her ban 1 at a straight part. To lay Hhe is the best we have. Others who come into the same cate gory. o far as their begrinninjrs are concerned, are Kdith YVynne-Matthison. Constance Collier. Alexandra Carlisle, Hilda Anthony and Nina Sevenincr. all of whom have surprised t lie wiseacres. In America doubtless the same evolu tion takes place, but it Is the more re markable in Knjrland since our leading emotional actress was only able to emerge from the surround incs of mu sical farce after years of wait ins: and fruitless effort to do better things. As a preliminary to his London open In gr. which has been fixed lor May 0. George Tyler will produce "The Dawn of a Tomorrow," at the Shakespeare Theater, Liverpool, on May 2. with a cast which will include Gertrude Klli ott. Jameson Ix-e Finney, an American actor, and Ada lawyer, also from your side of the Atlantic. If "The lawn of a Tomorrow" doesn't hit them suf ticiently hard to make it worth while, he will follow it with "Salomy Jane." Tyler is primly deter mined to break in here for the Summer season. i This is a city jf t heat r tea 1 dreamy , chemea. Every once in a while some of the men who hunt for novelties in stage-land stories discover a man who has vague notions that what the British theater needs is freshness of thought. They say the old-fashioned form of entertainment, such as a whole evening for one 'play, is dead as the mummies in the British Museum, and that the public is aching for a new sort of after dinner mental lefreshment. Of these projects, or alleged projects, the latest is the starting of a West End theater to be devoted half to one-act plays and half to vaudeville. At present tht; scheme has so far progressed that the promoters are talking1 of opening a ther.ter on these lines. The most promising thing about the business is the assurance of one of those interested that the public will not be asked to subscribe any money for the flotation of the undertaking. Of the scheme to start a kind of Guignol thea ter here with money put up by the peo ple of this city, no-thing has since been heard. The play "Bridge. which the Shu berts have acquired for production in America, is a grim, not to say grue some, satire upon the. danger of bring ing up titled young men with no money in a way calculated to render the busi- J ness oi wage-faiuiiiB en -" Ipsime. In this extremely gioomy out u:ici ing story, the second son of a Duke, faced with the problem of how to earn an honest living, promptly decides not to. He becomes a professional card crook. Is. in the last act. caught at a country house, cheating with the aid of a woman confederate and finally, with his accomplice, dies by the self-administration of charcoal fumes. One by one the mellow places of London are being handed over either tn the person with the housebreaker's pick ax or to the purpses f the rampant utiliLartan in search of rents.

The grim-looking old buildings where in the famous banking firm of Coutts commenced operations in 1754 a place redolent of hietory and a most beautiful example of the interior decoration made famous by the brothers Adam has. so far as its internal portion is concerned, been torn to pieces and turned into a glaringly modern theater. The property has been acquired by Gertrude Kingston, one of our leading actresses, who proposes 10 open the place for the exploitation of new plays, some time next October. It is to be called the "Little Theater" and is de signed to bring audience and players so close together that the show will seem more like a conversation in an ordinary room than is possible in the usual theater. To the London Interviewers, A. E. Erlanger, who arrived in town a few days ago, has been explaining his plans for the establishment in N ew York, Bos ton, Philadelphia and Chicago theaters to be devoted exclusively to the per formance of European mostly British plays. Erlanger says it was Irving who gave him the idea of associating certain thea ters with particular attractions, since the famous English actor would only visit a town upon the condition that he snouM appear in the same theater as he had played at on his previous tours. Charles Frohman has. in furtherance of the European-theater-in-America scheme, decided to send his London Repertory Theater company to play in the various cities named. When this comes off audiences in those centers will have an opportunity of sampling the quality of Dennis Eadie and several other actors of the very highest grade in the business. Meanwhil. Oswald Stoll, head of the huge Moss Still vaudeville enterprises bere. is hustling along with his new American-British Corporation, whioh, has taken over several important theaters In the Northwestern States and will pres ently build others in New Tork and else where. This is, of course, by way of a Set off to the new alliance between Al fred Butt and Martin Beck, represent ing big vaudeville Interests on both sides, of the Atlantic.
