TEACHING THE YOUNG IDEA.”

Shade of Jack Sheppard to Shade of Dick Turpin. "They say it’s us as upset the Youngsters ; but, bless their simple ’arts,

“ Still Waters Run Deep.”

This effective play has been so successfully revived at the Criterion
that, in spite of managerial pre-arrangements, Mr. Wyndham may
have to change its title to Still Waters Run Long. It is said that
Charles Wyndham intends going in for tragedy, and that the name of
the theatre will he altered to The Cry-teary-un. We don’t believe it.

Paradoxical.—The Quarterly Review has an article on ‘‘The
Early Life of Lord Beaconseield.” But surely Beniamin’s real
“ Early ” life was his late one!

Sub Rosa? but not Sotto Yoce.—Miss Huntington, at the
Prince of Wales’s, seems to have made a hit. Her name, at all
events, is suggestive of being in for several good runs.
