POLO ON THE STAGE
» LONDON THEATRE ENTERPRISE United Service LONDON, 12th September. Seven retired army captains have been engaged to give demonstration polo matches on a huge stage at the Coliseum Theatre. The ponies are insured for £5000. An imitation turf field will be laid and roped off to prevent the ponies falling on the orchestra. The games will consist of two eightminute chukkers, two players a side. It is recalled that when the Coliseum was opened an attempt was made to enact the Derby upon a revolving stage. A horse was precipitated into the orchestra and the jockey was killed.
