JOE COYNE GETS PEER’S BIRDS.
IT REMINDED HIM OF GOOD OLD DAYS. LONDON, Sept. 29. Joe Coyne, the comedian (who toured Australia in 1921), on Saturday was surprised and elated to receive, at the Palace Theatre, 1000 cigarettes, 12 brace of game, a.nd a bottle of hair lotion. It reminded him of the good old days when unknown miners showered gifts upon him. He distributed tbe cigarettes, grouse and partridges among Binnie Hale, Vera Pearce, George Grossmith, other stars, and the stage hands, and presented the hair lotion to an elderly bald critic. While seated in his dressing-room he was astounded to receive a telegram from Lord Dudley, with whom he was to. spend the week-end at Le TOuquet, reading: “Please bring over all my parcels, addressed to you at the theatre.” Mr Coyne coolly despatched messengers to replace Lord Dudley’s purchases.
