An entertaining story cf how a dra- i matic author adopted so artful ruse | and became quits wih the C:rsor is related by Mr. Laurence Cowen ia The Pall Mall Gazette. Last December two of Mr. Cowen's plays were refused licenses by Earl Spencer, "One, 'The Pity of It, w . 1D effect, the then Lord Chamberiain. | a scene from my licensed play 'Thé } World, the Flesh, snd the Devil'" | writes Mr. Cowen, "prcduced over three years ago and played continu. ously to this very day. : ! in regard to so impossible a deci- : sion." The other play entitled "Tricked, was returned to the author for sitera. tions, and when altered was still re- fused a license, the Lord Chamberlain | stating that no alterations would make it fit for public representation. The license was accordingly refused. Then Mr. Cowen decided on a bold attempt A b sorship had dope him "a great wrong," and how he succeeded is a story well worth the telling. He wrote another play--not really another, fr in structure it was exact ly similar--countaining everything fun- damental to the plot basis of "Trick. ed." Characters were given different names snd stations in life, "but the did eve:y vital deed and act, wil the same motives and material as in the banned play, and with & delightful sense of intelligent anticipation Mr. Cowen called the play "Quits!

Having suggest. ed that the play might be altered, the author on Jan. 26 attended by ap- pointment at St. James' Palace and «aw the Comptroller, Sir Douglas Dawe son. No curiosity was expressed as to Mr. Cowen's identity, and he was an- nounced as the gentleman who wrote under the name he had sent in. A friendly discussion ensued, and the author was asked what arvuments he could adduce for a reversal of the Lord Chamberlain's decision. He gave several, and was asked to em- body them in a letter to be laid be- fore the Advisory Board. This was donc. On Feb. 10 the play was li- censed. Continuing his story, Mr. writes: : "1 am very grateful to Sir Douglas Dawson for the service he has reo- dered me: but if 'Tricked!' cannot be licensed, then of a certainty 'Quits! should not; if 'Quits?' is licensed (as it now is), then the bann on 'Trick- er!' is an outrage, as wicked as it is illogical. ¥f "Tricked! is unfit for pub- lic performance--vide the Lord Cham- berlain and his Advisory Board--then 1 am bound to frankly admit that 'Quits!' is beyond the pale. : "The broad fact remains "Tricked! is 'mot only a prohibited play, but an improper one; 'Quits!' after vicisal- tudes, is fit food for the public, and its highly moral tope 1s certified by the Lord Chamberlain; they are, nevertheless, as pieces of stage craft manship, identical! !

To quote Viscount Wolseley's tribute, he has been *'an officer whose readiness of resource and whose ability as a leader are only equalled by his courage aud daring." Many good stories go the round concerning this witty Irishman, but the following may be new to sonia readers. Many of the Beresfords have been in the Church, and Lord Charles father began his career in Holy Or. ders and ended it as Marquis of Wat- erford. hle : sportsman, snd his sons followed in his footsteps, On one occasion an old triend of the family who disapproved of sport went up Ww the youthful Oharles and said gravely: Do you sup- pose that the Apostles s ui Sabbath Day?" Perhaps ek, was the prompt response: 'bu tain that they Rished." Lord Charles Bereford's prowess as a sailor and politician is well known, but he has many other hobbies, which include ardening, turning, - t-building, and carpentering. ea -------------- Cowen his Waterloe Centenary.
