The patron of this theatre applies for the 'phones at the manager's office. Speical seats in the house are reserved for the deaf, and at these are found a little plug for connection with the sound wires which are led directly from the operating booth. The phones are both light and inconspicuous and are available free of charge, [Far phones have been in use at the Bijou Thea- tre, Johannesburg and are claimed every night, There are more deaf people in Cape Town than in Johan nesburg, and in time they will be catered for at all the African Theatr Trust houses, DUELLING COMMON IN EARLY REGIME Fought in Quebec Had Tragic Ending Montreal, April 16. Duels in the Province of Quehee under Dritish rule were recently described by Aegedius Fauteux, president of the Historical Soclety of Montreal, He said more than 70 deuls recorded in historical documents, memoiry or newspapers were foung in Lowor Canada from about 1760 to the time the practice wns abolished, In the early years of tho Dritish rule in the Province of Quehee, paople | proved to he most sensitive an mat- ters relating to private life, honor and dignity, . Mr. Fauteux pointed out that the practice of challenging an enemy to a duel wag elmost Hinited in the military officers. The practice had undoubtedly been retained from the French regime, the code of honor fixing in advance the action of the officer receiving the challenge. Any officer being ordered to fight and trying to avoid it had his promo- tion cancelled and was degraded in the eyes of hig fellow-officers. These duels were fought with pistols, many of them at Windmill Point al daybreak, or later at various pointe near the forts on St. Sulpice pro- perties, or else on that part of the island of Montreal now known as Fletcher's Field. The first duel re- corded under the Pritish rule took place hetween o young French- Canadians at ucherville on Au- gust 17, 1789, Only a small number of duols fought in the Province of Quebec had a tragic end, the speaker claim. ed, one being Samuel Holland. of- ficer in the 60th Regiment who fought Captain Sheds. the latter re maining on the field, and one In 1838 between Robert Sweeny and Comparatively Few Duels! early years of the British regime to | Major John R. Ward, The two men being well known in Montreal, pub. lic opinion was aroused at the death of Major Ward in the duel and loud protests were heard from all sections of the population. Hole land used a pistol given his father by General Wolfe. Mr. Fauteux mentioned the fact that mostly all the best known pol- itical leaders at that time defended their honor with the pistol. ACTRESSES FIND HEDDA PROBLEM Miss Jean Forbes-Robertson Wins Praise of Critics For Her Interpretation London, April 16~Writing of the appearance of Miss Jean Forbes. Robertson, daughter of Sir Johnston Forbes-Robertson, as Hedda Tesman in Ibsen's play "Hedda Gabler," re- cently produced at Arts Theatre, Lon don, the Times Theatre critic says: "Hedda is a problem as new as life itself for each actress who aproaches her," and he deals at some length with Miss Forbes-Robertson's inter- pretation of the character, mostly in very favorable terms, He says: "Miss Forbes-Robertson's performs- ance, as gll her performances are, is a surprise, What she has seen in the play is a terrible and ruinous spiritual experience. She traces all the evident motives for Hedda's be- havior--her jealousy of Mrs. Elvstead her poisoned longing to possess Love borg, her contempt of Tesman, her lust tor power. Then, perceiving that they nced some decper force to give them the unity of a master- piece and to save them from being tinged with ridicule by Ibsen's em- phasis on his tedious vine-leaves she reveals in Hedda an evil spirit that dominates and possesses her. This is not a perverse blue-stocking, but a woman whose genius is to be bored, to torment herself, to move always in | the tracks of an obsession, The movement is never violent. Deter mined on the earthly plane but heln- less and fated on the spiritual, it has the cold and unswervine deliberation of one who walks in her sleep with open eyes, avoiding obstacles, choos ing her path, yet driven by drean "To those who see in Hedda an apportunity for a display of firework Lertson's treatment of the part is too quiet Certainly the misses opnon | most any other actress would have welcomed, and which, it must be add ed Ibsen probably intended to receive more emphasis than she gives (he Her conclusion of the, third act, th burning of Lovbeag's manuscript, {too hurried, and would be improv Obituary REV.
