ACTRESS-M.P.
Dion Boucicault’s final gesture before leaving London for Australia, teas to act as producer to the musical version of Locke's “The Beloved Vagabond.” Mabel Russell (Mrs. IHlton Philipson, M.P.), made her return to the stage in it. It has been stipulated, however, that Mrs. Philipson shall appear on the stage only while Parliament is in recess. Otherwise, the double job might lead to endless possibilities —such as Mabel, M.P., plunging before the curtain with a plea to be excused, “While I dash round to the lobby for a few minutes. They’ve rung through they’re, taking a division on my Complimentary Marriage Bill, and I must cast my vote.” Or, in the House itself, members might find- much diversion from dull finance bills watching the Member for Berwick-on-Twecd propping up her hand-mirror beside the mace, and “making up,” preparatory to a scurried exit round to the Duke of York’s Theatre, to be in time for the second act.
