ACTOR’S REGRETFUL RESTROSPECT.
London, January 26. “I am tired of shingled hair, the sports girl, the telephone, modern dancing and jazz music,” said the famous actor,. Sir Gerald du Manner, .at a city luncheon. “I’d like to go back to the time when your daughter did not beat you at golf and tennis, when you sat with your family round the fire at home, instead of at a restaurant 'dancing with a girl or boy-—you never know what they are these days, I’d like to hear the clop-clop of horses and hansoms in the streets, instead of the motorists’ hoot-hoot. I would like to return to the days when you did not have to dance to tunes played on tongs and a coal scuttle. I would like to be back in Bond Street, in which you were not allowed to walk without a top hat and frock coat.
“I propose we form a syndicate to find an inventor to enable us to go backward through the lovely ages, instead of the things of the future.”
