was cheap and filled the place now occupied by
German silver. Since, however, the price of tin has
risen to $950 or more per ton, the value of britan-
nia metal has so increased that it is more economi-
cal to use German silver, though the cost of the
manufacture of German silver is much higher.

As an industry, it may be said that the manufac-
ture of britannia metal has practically died out.
It is still used to some extent for the manufacture
of hot-water jugs, coffee and tea pots, sugar
basins, soup tureens, dish covers, soap boxes, etc.
It is also used to limited extent when applied to
the cheapest kinds of brushes, mirrors, etc.

PREMIERE OF "THE QUAKER GIRL."
First American Performance in Atlantic City
on Tuesday Night.
(Special to The Review.)
Atlantic City, N. J., Oct. 4, 1911.
"The Quaker Girl" was .given its American
premier at the Apollo Theater last night under
the management of Henry B. Harris. The music
is bright, and the production is really light opera
rather than musical comedy. The parts are well
cast, the scenery attractive, and costumes pretty.
There is a large chorus. May Vokes plays
Cruicess, Mathilde's maid, and Daphne Glenne
plays the Princess. Clifton Crawford as Tony
Chute has the principal male role. The play
goes to Philadelphia for two weeks and then to
the Park Theater, New York.
The book of "The Quaker Girl" is by James
T. Tanner, the lyrics by Adrian Ross and Percy
Greenbank, and the music by Lionel Monckton,
composer of "The Arcadians." Chappell & Co.
publish the music.
NOW THE BELGIAN OPERETTA.
Said by London Critics to be Welcome Relief
from Viennese Type.
"The Love Mills," an English adaption of the
the Belgian operetta by A. Van Most, was pro-
duced at Charles Frohman's Globe Theater in Lon-
don, Monday, and according to reports offered
a welcome relief from the Viennese type of oper-
etta. It is said the music is gay, light and melo-
dious, and the book decidedly clever though a
trifle spicy.
