. SEYMOUR HICKS' “TWO-ACT . PLAY” MAGISTRATE AS CRITIC LONDON, Jan. 24. Seymour Hic-ks engaged Kenneth McLaine, an actor, for an 18 weeks’ tour at £ls weekly, saying: “You can do the part on your head.” In a love scene when Hicks was calling Mrs Hicks a “darling” McLaine stood between the lovers. Hicks became etxremely cross and at the fall of the curtain dismissed McLaine. The second act was before the King’s Bench division. McLaine: “Hicks liecaxne extremely unreasonable on the stage. H<- does not realise what lie is doing. Anyitody is liable to make a mistake on the first night.” Hicks : Nobody living or dead could have made a ghastlier mess, I told him lie could do it on his head. It would have been better if lie had done so.” The Judge: Pay McLaine a fortnight’s salary and the £'l4 14s expended on clothes.—(Curtain). —A. and N.Z.C.A.
