disappoint mi-nt over Forbes Robert
son's ' announcement that a new
liiice, by II. V. Esmond, which ho has
secured, will bo given for tho first
time In New York in January, at the
boKiniifnj; of his second American
tour. Esmond, who is t.lio author of
"When We Were Twenty-one." has
not been heard from before for nenrly
two years. His new play is not named
yel, but it is a serious piece in five
acts. In which Forbes Robertson has
what he considers an especially pow
erful part, and in which Gertrude Elli
ot I. is also well provided for. Jloth
author and actor may bo wished bet
ter luck with tho production of this
ph're, for Esmond's last work, called
"Imprudence" on one side of tho At
lantic anil "Hilly's Little Love Affair"
on the other, was a real success on
licit her, while Robertson's only new
production since his return from the
United Slates, "The Edge of the
Storm," was a complete failure.
Robertson and .his wife, Gertrude El
liott, are now touring tho provinces
with "Mice and Men" and "The Light
That Failed," and will not be seen in
London again until after their Ameri
can visit.
If Williams & Walker come to Lon
don again it, is not probable that they
will be commanded to play before
royalty. Certainly not if King Ed
ward's ndvisers see their production
published of a poster which the col
ored pair are using at home. It pre
sents an imaginary picture of the ne
gro comedians "on their way to
Buckingham palace," enthroned in a
sumptuous motor car and In the act
of receiving a saluto from tho king
and queen! The royalties aro rep
resented as passing in one of iho roy
al carriages, while, from tho picture,
one would suppose that Lhe streets of
London hail been decorated in honor
of this auspicious occasion.' . UI
course, the tiling Is too ridlciioits to
bo taken seriously by anyone, but lis
use is rightly described here as a "gi
gantic piece of impertinence."

traditionally a charm wherewith in

spirits and goblins.
Vi.i-r different Is the story by which
the Irishman seeks to account for Ul
liking for the aauio tullsthanlc symbol.
The name "Ironland" or "Ireland," be
will tell you. originated as follows:
The whole island waa once submerg
ed In the sea. out of which It only rose
once In seven years, and then only for
a very short time. Many attempta had
been made to break the apell and In
duce tbe country" to remain perma
nently above the waters, but all were
vain until one day a darln udven
turer threw n horseshoe from a bout
on to tho topmost peak of the Wh klow
mountains Just as they were disap
pearing beneath the waves. Then at
last wai the ban removed. The Emer
ald Islo .egan forthwith to rise again
from the ocean depths Into which it
hud sunk. And it him been dry land
more or less ever since.
In. England, up to comparatively re
cent times, horseshoes were extensive
ly used almost everywhere ns anti
witch charms, and the custom Is not
even yet an extinct one. No wlteb, It
used to be said, could enter a building
over the door of which a horseshoe
or. better still, three horseshoes had
been ailixed, prongs downward.
The origin of this particular belief la
referable to the old legend of St
Dunstan. This versatile English eeclif
slastic was a skilled farrier, and one
day while at work In liis forge the pvll
one entered In disguise and requested
Dunatan to shoo his "single hoof."
The saint, although he at once recog
nized his malign customer, acceded,
but caused him so much pain during
the operation that Satan begged him to
desist Tills Dunstan did, but only
a.'ter lie had made tho evil one prom
ise that neither he nor any of tbe less
er evil spirits, his sen-ants, would evei
molest the inmates of a house where a
horseshoe was displayed.
