Well ladies and gentlemen, il seems that this Is the
hst hour Of the theatrical existence Of Burton and
COMPANY on the Chambers street boards, and am
called out before the last drop falls 10 make the
diving speech and confession. Laughter and applause
We plead guiltyguilty of extreme regret at leaving
this charming little thcatcr where for nine long years
We have sailed Il current of unexamplcd prosperity
jChecrsJ | am about vcnturing on thcatcr which |
have cndcaVOrcd To make as splendid as any IN the
world. But We; | must confess that leave tins small
house with extreme regret. Within the narrow circle
Of these walls must say that have experienced more
anfom kindness and continuous prosperity than i'll any
other part of the world When came here in the eyes
of most theatrical persons II seemed as though failure
inevitable but perevered, and the result has been
most satisfactory 10 me. and, from the continued favor
with which have met, hattcr myself that II has III
some measure been satisfactory to you Loud applause
i am now, ladies and gentlemen about 10 retire from
this and appear IN larger ho1sc. l trust that
j shall be az successful there IA l have been hcrc
by the exercise of the same industry shall have the
honor of presenting to You in the of the season
n fine theatrical company this continent has ever
seen, and of making mime ttc thea'or of the country
IContnued applause 1t will be my pride and en-
deavOr to make II SO. Allow me to say word to my
company who have volunteered this ast testimonial
can assure you that such compliment however, com
monplaco--fOr there compliments are commonplace
in these days-I assure you that to the heart OF the
professional director they most dear. 1t ~ not
always that managers cxcrtions appreciated,
and when there is q show of kindness II sinks deep INTO
his heart, never to be forgotten Loud appausel. l
return you many thanks for the long cOulse OF success
have experienced here, and mort sincerely take fare
