ANOTHER BLONDE STORY.
Where n Manager FaiIed-A Pretty
Kettle of Fish,

From the Chicago Post, September 81 .
A rumor was ahoat this afternoon tina
the Harry Beckett Burlesque Troupe
now at the Opera House, had disbanded
owing to the failure of business and the
inability Of the manager, Mr.. Sheridan
Corbin, formerly of Maguire's Opera
House, San Francisco to settle his own
and the current expenses of the com
pany 1t was also fumored that Miss
Rose Massey had been duped, and that
there would be no more performances OF
the blondes in this city
From careful inquiry il appears that
Mr.. Corbin, who engaged the company,
and took them across the continent, has
been under heavy expense, and had
some old bills to settle, the receipts from
the performances of the gay burlesquers
failing to cover them. The troupe ar
rived in this city over two weeks ago,
and rested q week previous to appearing
in public, A goodly-siEed board bill was
run up at the Matteson House, and the
sum realized from last weeks perform
ances failed to meet the demands upon
Manager Corbin's exchequer.
Last Saturday night came, but with it
no salaries; and the burlesquers, who
had danced their padding out of shape,
and we're weary from their efforts to talk
doggerel and sing. after the performance
went to their hotel disappointed. But
their bills hadn't been paid, and the host
OF the Matteson couldn't stand it any
longer; SO they were kept out of their
rooms until the money was forthcoming.
Here was pretty pickle. Time, mid
night; sna no lodging fog FIVE feglorn ie-
And all this because they hadn't dollar
a-piecel A note was sent to Mrs. Harry
Beckett, with a request that FIVE dollars
he sent TO five distressed females" The
request was eomnlied with, snd the par
one, who tore a passion to
tatters" and walked over the city in great
tribulation--paid their little bills for the
night. .f.. rI
Mr., Corbin went off with all the re-
ceipts (if there were any), and couldn't
be found for some time He, too, was in
a peck af trouble. Some of his baggage
had been levied upon, and he had to get
il by footing bills, if indeed he got it at
all. He was buttonholed by the blondes,
but all their claims couldn't be satisfied.
Miss WealheFsby is said TO have lost
$500 by the failure Of Corbin. The
troupe was about to disperse, but mon
eyed parties came to the rescue, settled
a few necessary bills, and under the man
agement Of Mr.. Harry Rocket, the com
panJ will proceed FROM here to ST. LouIs,
after fulfilling their engagement at the
Opera House. L.....-.
The Matteson House host has been

lose any money through Mr. Corbin, as
rumored. What next from the blondes1
