COFFEE IN SAMUEL JOHNSON'S BOUSE An oppropriate measure ha been taken to belp suppori Samuel Jobnson's bouse ir, Gougb Square, London. A cof. fee room in the basement wih help meet expenses. Dr. John- son, famous for bis Dictionary of the English Language pub- lished in 1755, and other works, and almost equally well knowr for bis good tnlk in London's coffee bouses of that era, lived at 17 Gough Square from 1748 to 1759. After a vnried existence as lodgings, 'an hotel, and pren-i ises of a printing compnny, thp house was bought in 1912 by Cecil Harmsworth who reno- vnted it and gave it ta the gov- ernment with a small mainten- ance fund, as a museum to Johnson's memory. Over the yenrs the museum bas had vis- itors from many lands. However, the money petered out and the three-storey red brick bouse was threatened with possible demolition. It is boped by tbe promnoters o! the coffee bouse idea, and by tbousands of well-wishers, that enougb money will be realized to preserve tbis historic bouse. The coffee bouse tradition sbould belp revive conversa- tion to its rigbtful importance and enjoyment in such sur- roundings. Tbe bouse is close by Fleet Street, and wbo more tban journalists sbould enjoy taking their coffee in Jobnson's bouse? JAZZ AT STRATFORD The scbedule o! performances for this year's Stratford Festi- val bas arrived. The plays, as you bave no doubt seen, are "Henry V" and "The Merry Wives of Windsor". It is the fourtb season of drama and the second o! music. Tbe mnusical) progrrn somewhat startled us at first, and therein lies its value. Or' part of it at least. -awe-1 as the chorus, orches- tra and sucb guest artists 3s Claudia Arrau, Glenn Gould and Rudoîf Serkin, there are to be such kings of jazz as Duke Ellington and bis orchestra, the Cal Jackson Quartet, Art Tatum Trio, and several others. Shakespeare and Duke Elling- ton side by side. Think o! it! And an opera by Benjam in Britten to boot. The inclusion of jazz bas sbock value, as well as catering ta other than clas- sical taste. We predict even biggcr crowds for Strntford this year. It bas becoxpe a pilgrimage now with many, something one jurst can't afford to miss. And be- sides the regulars, there are eacb year hundreds and bun- dreds attending for the first j time. How soul-sntisfying for Tom Patterson, the man who dared to think it could be done.1 Season tbis year is from June 18 to August 18, with the mu- sic starting July 7 and ending August Il.
