A very good story is told of Mr. Sidney Dark, the dramatic critic, and this year's President of the O.P. Club, who took the chair at the Old Savoyards dinner, Mr. Dark, as is well-known, is the critic of the 'Daily Express,' and went into the sub-editor's room one evening after a first night to hand in this article. He noticed over the door a huge, white sheet hung up and he asked jocularly, 'When is the cinematograph going to begin?' 'At once,' replied one of the subs, 'we were only waiting for the dark.'
