BRITISH BAN
ON FOREIGN ARTISTS.
LONDON, Friday
Tex McLeod 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 restricting licenses to foreign artists. Tex, who is an American “spinner of ropes and yarns,” has been appearing at intervals for more than 12 years. Some of his caustic references to British politicians have become catchwords.
The Government does not object to the occasional, limited visits of foreign artists, but, in view of the unemployment, feels bound to scrutinise claims to prevent a prolonged stay. FRENCH RETALIATION. MUSICIANS ALREADY BANNED. PARIS, Friday. If Britain bans French music-hall and other performers, hundreds of British dancing girls of the Tiller and other troupes will be sen back to England. British musicians already are banned in France. A RESPITE. (Received This Day, 11.20 a.m.) LONDON, Sunday. The Ministry of Labour has reconsidered the case of McLeod and lie will be allowed to stay in England until the end of January.
