A theatre owned and operated by women Is London's newest wartime feature. Stagehands, scene shifters and other male workers at theKingway enlistod one by one until the playhouse closed. It is now reopened by the proprietress, j Miss Lena Ashwell and mere man plays i no part in its coriauct except as an actor or in the audience. A comely young woman, well known In London stage circles, is stage "man ager." The limelights are worked by girls who sit aloft admidst the upper scenes, clad in mannish overalls and linen coats. The electric switchboard operator is likewise feminine. All the scene, shifters wear skirts and have always done so. A uniformed female ticket taker stands at the door while the ticket offices are devoid of men. A woman's orchestra furnishes the music under the footlights. Thers is even a woman press agent. Where Is Applause OfJesteryear? Where is the applause of yester year? The crowds come and pay and stay, but compared with the thundrous receptions of old the applause of to- j day is a faint and chilly pattern, com ments the New York Times. For with every passing season applause in the theatre is growing fainter and fainter. A blight seems to have fallen 6 P. M. to 11 P. M. my supreme achievement. It Birth of a Nation." (Signed) D.

The gallery where once the gods stamped and whilstled and cheered is either deserted or gone en- ' tlrely. ' Its whlldom patron are at the movies, which are teaching them to be as humanly silent as the photo play itself. ; The riiovtes are partially responsi ble, perhaps, the disappearance of the orchestra may nave something to do with it.
