mates of his majesty's prisons are
ealons of the privileges accorded the
suffragette contingent, under recent
orders from the' home office.
"We do not disguise the fact," says
the annual report of the prison com
missioners, 'that the large conces
sions -made, and dispensations granted
from what the ordinary regime entails
have created much dissatisfaction
among other' prisoners who are not
able to understand what mu&t often
be a nice distinction."
A scene from "The Lion and the
Mouse"
Steward on Friday evening is, the
wholesome and dlBtinct drawing of tne
various character in the play.
There cannot be found In the play
a villain, a frivolous matron, a way
ward girl nor an adventuress. Nowa
days it is a rare occurrence to visit
the theatre without having to hear the
doings and misdoings of one or more
such characters on the stage. Mr.
Klein has displayed a keen knowledge
of what is most desired by the public
of today. The cleanliness of "The
Lion and the Mouse" has been a huge
factor in the remarkable success en
Joyed by this interesting and well told
story of certain phases of America's
money world.
London, Oct. 17. It was learned to
