8 is people i who nothing so insult suiting lg to are born bom in england and educated J at rugby as aa to be addressed with a mr mansfield is most particular on all points of social etiquette he would sooner die than not be the thing and as he the least intention of dying just yet he meekly hinted to Mr Frohman that in future he would prefer to be addressed as richard mansfield esq the manager was very busy when mansfields instructions arrived he paid no attention to them and sent off another letter addressed to mr richard mansfield that was waa the last straw that broke the camels back mansfield insists on being enquired ired he will submit to a great deal he will tolerate a manager who know how to handle a single eyeglass ite he will endure the presence of a man who has been no nearer london than the cunard dock and it is even said that he undertook to allow the slocums the privilege of not turning up their trousers when cables from london announced anno that it was raining there there is a limit to all things however and mansfield will never brook being it is a breach of good form for which there is no compensation pensa tion and a year vear will not begin to pay for such a gr grievance devance dillingham knows the actors foibles and has more time to attend to them than his seventy two hour predecessor he cannot afford to pay mansfield a year but he can afford to write letters twice every hour of every day of every year addressed to richard mansfield esq it will be hard work but it will be hard work that will reap a fine reward I 1 wish the young man hearty and continuous good luck it seems unlikely that the new gilbert sullivan opera the grand duke or the statutory duel will be produced in america francis wilson had a man in london to see it and was very speedily satisfied that there was nothing in it tor for him there have been plenty of letters between new york and london anent this opera but not the least inducement to present it has been held out to new yorkers it is a hopeless failure gilbert sullivan have lost their dual cunning and we nay never hear from them again 4 N 2 M ak MRS MARIE GREEN social octal welcome sh is again in

only thing that disposes me to think that there is in reality some value in the grand duke or the statutory duel is the opinion of J C duff mr air duff went to london in the interests of the brooks miner syndicate he was commissioned to see the gilbert sullivan opera and secure the american rights if necessary he cabled back emphatically no good for america those were the only cheering words I 1 have heard beard about the grand duke it cant be wholly bad or J C duff would not have condemned it so severely there must be a merry and a pellucid quality about it or mr duff would not have been so certain it was a failure if I 1 had been connected with the brooks miner syndicate I 1 would at once upon receipt of mr juffs cable have secured the american rights of the grand duke druke guide when
