HIS STUDY IN BROWN

MB E. J. CABBOLiL IN' SYDNEY. PAVLOVA AND LADDER. There is a degree of immaculateness found only in Princes of the Blood Royal ana entrepreneurs extraordinary (writes the Sydney “Guardian”). Back from America is Mr E. J. Carroll, after a tour of Britain and the best tailoring establishments on both sides of the Atlantic. Suit, brown, heavenly brown. Tie, brown, with blue and gold. Shirt, golden brown. Shoes, brown cloth and Oh, boyl But he’s hack now, and, as he said himself, it took him only five minutes to re-talk Australian—despite the tie. Seid he (full of good nature): “I have hopes. I was talking to Selby C. Oppenheimer—spell it right—in San Francisco. He’s the big impresario there, and he thinks there may be a chance of GJialiapin coming out here. And other big artists. _ Miss Pauline Frederick, the great picture star and actress on the legitimate stage, will be here at the end of the year. AUSTRALIAN PICTURE. “She wants to make a real Australian picture—to get the atmosphere. Of course, I mean to say, it’s very fine. And Pavlova will he here under my direction. “Pavlova, that great dancer, with her ballet, won’t "be the only attraction. Sir Harry Lauder is to make a last ‘last tour.’ From the East he will come.” Mr Carroll has many impressions of his tour. Here they are:— Western America: Vaudeville de luxe, beating everything else; Southern Californian towns growing like H. G. Wells’s giants; concerts; tho Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles; ultra respectable motion picture “stars,” Fatty Arbuckle’s return to the stage. Jackie Coogan. “I met Jackie at a restaurant with his father and mother. A wonderfully unspoiled youngster.” London: Dinners at Australia House; “Viscount” H. de Mclntosh; Sir Thomas Henley and Sir Ben Fuller; (“walking down the Strand was like walking down Pitt street—l knew so many people”); Wembley, Mrs J. C. and Miss Williamson, Australian wines;

the. Australian exhibit at the Empire Exhibition; Clyde Meynell, taking sons Texas and John to the “movies.” And when he saw the PickfordJTairbanks staying with the Mountbattens he knew that the stage had come into its own.
