HIS CHAT WITH SIR BEN. LONDON THEATRE DOM. *• LONDON, November 24. Sir Benjamin Fuller, of Sydney, told ‘‘The Sydney Sun’s” special representative that he was a passenger on the Majestic with Mr Lloyd George, who said that he was determined to visit Australia, probably in November. 1924lie* asked Sir Bepjamin innumerable questions about the climatic, industrial and social conditions of Australia, and particularly about home life in the back-blocks. 1 England and America cannot teash Auslialia anything regarding the layout and construction of theatre,” said Sir Benjamin. Some of the old theatres in England arc a disgrace from the sanitary and every other point of view. '• English actors and Actresses are keen to' visit Australia owing to the glowing reports of recent visitors. Australians are holding their own in American and English theatres. Bert Errol, of Balmain, is one of the highest paid comedians in America. Three of tho ten items of the London Palladium’s programme this week are provided by Australians—De Lino, the Colleanos and Lucie Ben Stead. “ Other Australians are doing well in England. Thiugh I have met a lot of them I have not met with one attempt ‘to bite mv ear.’ which is a pretty good sign c£ prosperity.”
