CINDERELLA AT THE PRINCE'S THEATRE. SUCCESSFUL PRODUCTION. Once again the pantomime season is us, and there is no longer newl to travel to the distant English towns to enjoy th-j aftnnal fare of fun and frolic cti.lle.l "pinte ime." L'an u m is always to the or ter- in for yjit()r. and 1 (f-ùeU" alike in :1 most Up-to- data manner.

III these days when Llandudno is s-truggKng to attract visi-itirs in the wilder as well i¡.s tiie summer, it must he higlily gmirifying t-o n-xe the enterprise of Mr Felix, and it is toO be IE-ped that his efforts will re- ceive the reword the3 90 well maÜt. Mr FeJix is to be highly congratulated upon the SU.{'l'E"3 of his first produOlion of pa.nt-o.mjn;.p. This week Mr NQ'son ilarratt's talented company are {pre- senting: "Cinderella." The scenery and stage eaeet.s arë aB that could be desired, amI reflect the greatest credit upon a touring company. The music is oom- and arranged by Mr Geoffrey Bla.-kn.oio. and includes the nicwt popular airs of th day. The easte is a i>articularly strong one, among whom are jn- cluded two old Llandudno favourites in Miss Isa Bernard and Mr Harry May. Both the artistes ap- peared in the pantomime at the Trinces Theatre last year', and the audience were not slow to aocord them a hearty receptjo!1. Miss Bernard, who plays the part of the daughter of the village in.11, is a capitis bur- lesque artiste, and a vocalist of no mean order. Pro- bably her best song was "Ma^idv Lane," but s-he was eciually successful in the dueU, "Silvery Moon," with Miss Florrie Anderson, Mr Harry Mav t.he WeJsli ooniedtM), WM p.iolxi.bl\ the funniest man on the stage. He played the part of a footman, arid foiled t.() evoke itxirs ill laughter. Miss Evi Travis plays "Cinderella" to perfeetion. She is just the ideal conception of a poor girl, sweet a.nd uncomplaining, bright pretty, and re:idy to make th best of everything. She p'JSs.esHe5 a splen- did voice, and sings in capital style. Miss Travis is also a clever dancer, and fairly brings down the house with her speciality of a beautiful fire arul butterfly donee, in the last act. Miss Gevergie Hawkins plays Prinze Charming with a dash and go. Miss FJorrie An- dei¥>c«] as Dianimi, tlie Prine6 valeit, is a dashing ae-tress, who uings catchy songs, and never fails to win plaudits by her fine vocalisation and acting. Mr James Mackenzie, as Peps the Page, is exceedingly witty, although perhaps the part is a little overdone at times. Mr Dave AllJderoon makes a fitting com- panion footman to Mr Harry May. These two comed- iaI work well together throoghout the piece. 1Ir Arthur Farren makes 11.. ca.I.ita.1 Baron, and does full Justtioc to tJlepart aJJOOted him. The UC-Jy Sisters are well portrayed by Mr AJf. Stokæ and Alr. £ u#er)c Macabe,w.h¡1\It Miss Vera Leslie does full justice w the part of "Fairy Fort,un<e." The prinicrmla are ably supported by a powenful and well baJa.Iwcd chorns, which, together with the orchestra, are under the oonduotorsbip of Mr Sydney Frenoh.

At a roccint mo-etMig of the Counciil of the Royail AgarjoultiiraJ Soaietv of ling]suad it was recommended that thare should be a Foreatiry Exhalation im connection with the Society's Show in Liverpool, amd that a conimittoc be appointed simiiLair to that in ahargo of tihis .■5<sct:oin of the show at Gloucester last year. It was further suggested that such commaht-eo fihould prepare a. looal schedule of prizes, and diraw up a scheme for a planting ownpoticon, limited to eat-a.tca in the areas of Lancashire, OheKhjjre, and North Wales. In accordance with these sugg-jgtione a vea-y iaifluentiaJ cx>m- m^jttee has boeri formed, consistiing of: Mr E. LovclJ CLairo (chairman), 11, Dale-street, IiivetrpooJ; Mr W.

It may be mentioned that the exhibition at the, Gloucester Show was most satisfactory, and it its felt, that people interested in land, e ither small landowners, large landowners, or nurt&arvmen, will take an especial interest in these competitions, and tha.t the local com- mittee already formed will have no difficulty m raising a special fund which i,s required of from £ 300 to £ 400.

COST OF NEWSPAPER SPACE.
COST OF NEWSPAPER SPACE. Every line in a newspaper co.ets its pub- lishers something. If it is to benefit s;wne individual he. may fairly expect to pay something. \ou do not go into a grocery a.nd ask the proprietor to hand you out ten pounds of sugar for nothing, CVCin though the grocer may be a personael fricmd, and even I though the gift mzght not be a. large one. "If the beneficiary of advertising docs not I pay for it, the proprietor lias to sett,le the bill. Nevertheless many people cannot seem to learn that a newspaper pays its expenses bv rent,aig. space, and that it "is just as much emtiitiled to collect rent for every day that fcipace is occupied as you are for the house you rent to a tenant. "Most newspapers expect to treat religious and philanthropic emtarprioes libeirally, vet in spite of this many of these cmterprises expect I the newspaper to give them space rent free, whii;!e tJ1@,v carry their job printing to some other ohop. The place for them to look fm support is the place they patronise." "Religious organisations, we are sorry to say, are the worst offenders in this lime that we have to deal with. We believe that we are just as good Ghrietm.ns and are just as generous as the average merchant on the etreeit. We therefore canmot understand why we are repeatedly besought to give a.wa.y space, by people who would never think of asking the milk man to give them cream for a church social or the grocer to hand over the needed supply of coffee, or the gas man to furnish the light for nothing.—"Gauvernour (N.Y.)

Sir, I asl; Jc-u in ell fairness tü p',tbii,A1 th.e encloeed foots which appeared in the "Standard'" fast week, written, I believe, by one ol their American represcawacivee- It is a review of evenits in 1909, and the facts which illustrate the enormous value of tariqs in America should be read carefully by everyone opposed to Tan_.fi' I1e.fOl"lll. "Economically (ea-ys the writer) the most con- sequ.máal ÇÇOUlxmœ of the year has been the revision of the old Ding-ley tariff, which has protected the country ajg-ainst unfair foreign oompeuntion since 1897. An cmormous quantity of evidence was taken by the Ways and Means Committee of the House cf Repreteni'jativos con- cerning the needs of the American industries to oontinrae secure a,gain-it the rivalry of under-paid foreign Labour, and Ccng'rets coatiiued in sss- sion throughout winter, ripring. a.nd sunnmer until the new rates were formulated. Rcduo- ticne M many schedules were made where it was seen that changing conditio as allowed fuch reduütwn6 without (lanige-T to American indus- tries, while rate" were increased in other schedules to a&?isit- in the strengthening' of new American manufactures. The new tariff hias already caused a number of foreign producers to decide to erect factories m the United States, employing American labour, instead of <X;imtmu- ing to manufacture abroad. The expansion of the United St&ree under Protection has been so pronounced, and the country is so firm),. in favour cf a jnxitective tariff, that the Democrats have changed from their former roption and are now Protectionieits- This union of the two great parties on the tariff qucixioii has made possible its ret-iremerot from politics, and, it is believed, will result, in etrcri'jihening' the American taTiif. ir.ial\ing it more £ cCo:it.ifio and lees obedient to the rule of thumb svstem of alteraitions.—Your truly, TARIFF REFORMER.

TIIE "PIONEER" ASD FOOTBALL. (To tho Editor of the "Pioneer.") Sir,—I noticed in your local contemporary last week that a Llandudno correspondent was con- gratulating the Editor upon his efforts to pro- mote pure and good football. Without desiring in any way to detract from the good services of your contemporary, I still think that the old adage, "Honour to whem Honour is due'' is worthy of being applied in j his case- 1 believe that the "Pioneer" was the first paper of im)X)rtancc on the North Wales Coast to devote several columns a week to the doings of the various football clubs—long before any of your contemporaries thought it. was worth while- Other papers gradually followed suit, though in sipite of the opposition you now have to contend wilth, I slull think our football columns are as good if not better than any others. Your re- port of the Wekh Football Sensation was the best printed. Wishing you the compliments of the season.—I am, etc., A FOOTBALL ENTHUSIAST. Colwm Bav.

HORSE FLESll AND RrE BREAD. (To the Editor of the "Pioneer.") Sir,—May I ask a few questions of those who have lately been writing to tile Press on the euibjeot of rye bread and horse flesh being t-Veo in Gernuany and of the wages in tfeat country r 1. Do they rea.% attribute the eating of horse flesh and rye bread in Germany- solely to Ger- many's protective fiscal aysfberaj 2. If so must not the eating: of horse flesh and rye bread in Free Trade Holland be «hi« to Free Trade 3. Why are botih horse fleecih and rye bread so largely eaten in Belgium W' there are no "food taxes?" 4. If Germans do not prefer rye. to vcbeat, why do the.r. grow so much rye instemi of \tfieat? 5. If low wages m Germany ajje due to tariffs to what are the still lower wa^x* m Free Trade Holland due? 6. If it is so much better to Jgve under Free Trade than. u-nder wItf do 80 many workers leave Free Trade HoJkt&d &04 live in protected Germany and 00 few Gjej-man workers 3Ve Germany -for Free Trade —Yours PU«ZLBD.

OOWER CHAPEL.
OOWER CHAPEL. (To the Editor of the "Pioneer). Sir,— I wars rather surprised to read a para- graph in your paper, headed ''Mr Lloyd Grcorgfe.'s Facts," wihicih C'llds with It is pati- ful to see a Minister of the Crown descend to such stuff a." this." This was on Thursday. Ave ycu aw«w that on Tuesday, the Rev. T. WilLiams wrote con- firming Mr Lloyd George's faClt6? This wou'd appear to turn Mr Lov att-Fr aser's se n t-ence as quoted above on himself, except that he iis not yet a "Minister of the Crown." I cncilose you herewith a cutting from tihe "Daily News," containing Mr WiIJiaa»' let- ter, and would a-sk you, in common fairness, to publish this contradiction of Mr Lovatt- Fraser's a-s prominently as you did his of Mr Llovd George.—Yours etc..

TRUTH ABOUT GOWER CHAPEL.
TRUTH ABOUT GOWER CHAPEL. The Chancellor of the Exchequer's reference a-t Carnarvon to a certain cha,pei ii 1 Gowca? has eiZfloited from the Rev. T. W oili am.s (Barry's Green, Gcwcr) a replv to statements made by Mr Lovatt-Fraser. The latter had d ated — "1-—That the £150 was for frecht^d and chapel manse. "2.—That there were included eleven or twelve acres of land. "3.—That the landowner had made several donations of £10 during the cur- rency of the lease. "4-—That the chapel passed a very hearty vote of thanks to the minister for securing such an exce^ent bargain." In answer to this, the Rev. T. Williams states — Tihe re is not a word of t.ruth in these statements. There is no maa.se. is not an inch of land except what the b't.tile stands on, the exact area being 37ft. by 22ft. There were no donations from the landowner except .£10 return ed receiving: the £150. There was no vote of thanks by the oh a pel, but rather an ex- prceeicn of disapproval! that it was not left to go by auction—some of the members feeling confident that no one wouLd have given .£100 for ilL"
