' i" (Unlt4 Praia Leutd Win.) London, , May -v Jl. Charging Lord Aberdeen and Augustine Blrrell, respect ively lord lieutenant and chief secretary for Ireland- with stealing the crown jewels, whlch fecntly disappeared from XMiblln castle, a man who declared htm self an Irish barrister, ha asked" the Westminster polios court for a warrant for Btrlell's arrest. The magistrates told the applicant to make his complaint to the public prose tutor and, when he urged prompter ac tion than the prosecutor can give, had the attendants remove him rrom-tho courtroom. . The crown jewels mysteriously - dis appeared soma months ago and no very vigorous search was ever -made for the culprit because, it was rumored, too great a scandal' might result. No, one thought, ' however, of connecting Lord Aberdeen's or Secretary Birrells name with ths theft. . ' GOOD PMYS 'LACKING J ; FOR LONDON STAES Managers Complain Dramatist Are ,,J ' 'Not Producing Work Up" . to Standard. London, May J!. -Star actors are at a discount at present, In London, ow ing to the dearth, of good' plays. One of the biggest theatrical managers In London has under his control S3 actors and actresses of the front rank who are out of work simply because no plays can be found for them, : Other managers of lesser 'magnitudo report the same story, and on every side the cry is heard that the British playwrights seemed to. have lost their cunning and that, - though the. man agers' desks groan with the weight of manuscripts, it seems impossible to ex tract more than a very few good .plays from the mass. Of the new lights that have appeared In the theatrical - heavens Somerset Maugham seems to promise more per manence and brilliance than any of the younger school of dramatists.

Of the -.older school JT. M. Barrle seems to have secured a firmer hold on the theatrical public than any of his colleagues. For some time he has been engaged on. a play which Is to- le produced at Charles Froliman's Duke of Yord theatre in the fall.. The scenes of the piece are laid partly In Scotland and partly In England.. The, piece has not yet received a name. - v. j The success of "Brewster's MilIioni," "Truth' '"Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch,'' and "The Squaw Man." all American pieces, has. proved so en couraging to managers" that the demand for American productions Is increasing every day. It was because "Mrs. Wlggs of the Cabbage Fatah" proved, such a genuine and unexpected success that Henry W. Savage declfled to produce "The College. Widow" here.

' London,' May 18. One of. the gravest of his majesty's judges has created a strange precedent by holding court Jn a music hall, and witnessing the perform ance of two rival vaudeville "turns" as a practical way of deciding an Issue. The case was an. action for Infringe ment of theatrical copyright brought by Fred ". Karno, who v-runs music ', hall "sketches" or playlets, against Paths Freres, a. flfm of blograph film-makers: Karno had produced - a sketch called "The Mumming Birds." a burlesque on a music hall performance. The Pathes had published a film called "At the Mu sk; Hall," which contained similar in cidents to some of those In the Karno sketch. : The rase came "before "Justice Jelf, and after the case had been amged by eminent counsel it was suggested that his lordship should judge for himself whether the film was a -colorable imi tation of the sketch. ' Accordingly a special matinee , was arranged at . the Oxford music hail, at which the audi ence .consisted of the Judge, counsel and the parties interested, and the show consisted of "The Mumming Birds," fol lowed by "At the Music Hall.': DIVORCE ENDS.
