A THOUSAND TWINS.

ATTENDANCE AT THEATRE

RESPONSE TO INVITATION

A general invitation to the twins of Liverpool was issued for a recent Saturday by the proprietor of the Shakespeare Theatre, where tho twin sisters Berry were playing in “Two Little Girls in Blue.”

Somewhat to the proprietor’s surprise 510 pairs of twins arrived ; each pailproduced birth certificates, and was admitted, 250 pairs finding seats in the stalls. The majority of the guests were girls; the oldest pair was seventy, the youngest four. Some drove up in motor-cars, while others walked from the poorest parts of the city. Nearly 900Qjsots of twins are born in England and Wales alone every year. Figures available for Scotland for the year 1925 show that out of 104,137 children born, there were 1309 sets of twins, or, roughly, one 6et of twins for every 100 children born. Apparently twins are not less healthy than the singly born. There are ma.ny recorded instances of octogenarian twins, while the oldest living pair are 94, Matthew and Mark Gunn, of Brighton, who recently received an invitation to appear on the stage.
