FOREIGN ARTISTS
RESTRICTIONS IN BRITAIN NEW HOME OFFICE POLICY. LONDON, January 9. (Received Jan. 10, at 5.5 p.m.) Tex M'Lcod had the surprise of his life on his return from Australia to find himself banned from performing here after Monday under the new Home Office policy, which restricts the licensing of foreign artists. Tex, an American “ spinner of ropes and yarns,” has been appearing at intervals over 12 years, and some of his caustic references to British politicians have become bywords. The Government does not object to occasional limited visits of foreign artists, but in view of unemployment it feels bound to scrutinise their claims and prevent prolonged visits. FRENCH REPRISALS PROBABLE. PARIS, January 8. (Received Jan. 10, at 5.5 p.m.) If Britain bans French music hall and other performers, hundreds of British dancing girls of the Tiller and other troupes will be sent back to Engle 1. British musicians are already banned in France.
