TROUBLE IN THEATRE.

United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. Received May 1, 10 a.m •London, April 30

Disturbances'have occurred at the, Garrick Theatre which recall the old price riots ia't Covent Garden in 1709. Miss Taylor, Messrs Cochran and Hartley Maners profess to be at a loss to divine the cause, though they were certainly planned, as stink bombs were dropped in the stalls, scores of coppers flung on the stage and snuff pellets affected many occupants of the stalls. Mr Justice Horridge, who was present, suggests a Sinn Fein plot, but probably the real cause will bo disclosed to-doy. Details were unprocurable owing to the late hour.
