Mr. Kyrle Bellow has been giving ndvioo ns to deportment on the stage. Mr. Bellew condemned the habit of many actors of talking to the audience, to vacancy, or to the border lights in&tead of to the person tho speech is addressed to. In real life, he said, it would bo regarded us tho height of rudeness. Then lie referred lo tho "furniture-testing actors," remarking that their name is legion. "How impossible it seems," said Mr. Bellow, "for somo actors to make a speech on the- staga without walking all over it nnd changing chairs ! In real life people do not begin a conversation and, after Saying a. few words, bob up, cross the room, sit down, pay a few words, bob up nnd cross back ; but they do on the stage. To me it see-ms ludicrous, as, for instance, when tho lending man enters tho fitagc, bu«in«M and dialogue arc about like this: 'Good morning, Mrs. Blank (cross to left). I thonght I caw you in the (com© down stage) park this morning when I was (sits on sofa) on my way to the club (gets up and crosses to the right) to meet yonr husband.' Now, that in not nn exaggerated example of stngo bueincss in th« leust, nnd yet it is perfectly ab«urd. If there are six chairs on the stageit is a good, anfo wager that the actor will sit in ©very ono of them in turn." Mr. L/ewis Waller hns produced a now play, "Miss Eiirabcth's Prisoner," a romantic comedy in four acts, by Mr. Lyall Swoto (a member of Mr. George Alexander* Company), «nd Mr. Robert N. Stephens*. Tho main theme is a love story, and tho play deala with tho exciting times of the American War of Independence.
