The eccentric acicr made things so unpleasant for the actress by his adverse criticisms that she left his company in disgust. It was not the first instance, however, in which the erratic Richard had rapped other people over the knuckles. Now comes this same Isabel Irving shining with all the splendcr of an accepted star and wearing laurels as green and leafy as Mr. Mansfield himself could desire.
