Especial Telegram to the Globe.
Boston, Dec. 1O.-Mrs. Langtry has been
SO overworked with rehearsals and constant
performances that she is suffering greatly
from nervous prostration, and at the close
of the second act of can Unequal Match"
yesterday afternoon the indulgence Of the
audience was claimed for ten minutes. At
the end of that time the curtain was raised
and the performance was finished as usual.
Last night her nervous system was SO over
wrought that she had to decline all invita-
tons and visitors, and although she went
through her part Of Ro5alind in ''As You
Like It." it was evident she was
suffering greatly. She was to have
gone to the Papyrus club reception to
meet the literary men and women of the
city, and & number OF specially invited
guests, including Gov. Long and his moth
er. but this she was compelled to forego.
In regard to the Interview with Mrs. La
bouchore il Washington, Mr. Charles A.
Mendum, The acting manager OF tho com
pany, Was seen Tonight IL the absence of
Mr. Abbey and Mr. Schoefel in New York,
and denied i'll the most unqualified terms
| the tr1th of the assertions Mrs. Labou-
chere is alleged to have made. Mrs. Lang
Try could not be seen. but NJ. Mendam,
speaking by her authority, states that tt Q
relations between the two women were last
Sunday perfectly amicabie, and that, SO
far as Mrs. Langtry knows they still
continue. They viii join the company
again IL Philadelphia on Tuesday, tie
18th inst, when third party viii be pres
ent in the person of Mrs. Lsngtry's sister,
who will arrive here from England Or
! Tuesday nextt. and will travel with the
company during the American tour. The
story Of lia;son with Baron Chetwynd is
coutemptuously ridiculed by Mr.. Mendum,
who points to the fact that Mrs. Langtry
moved III the best society tn England, and
was an especial fayorite with the princess
of Wales and other pure women, who
would never have countenanced her had
there been the slightest suspicion of
her. LII fact she was as
Caesars wife should havs been, but was
not wholly above suspicion. Had there
been anything OF the kind it must have be
come known, and Mr.. Abbey would never
nave speculated in the success OF a
good ameteur actress who wa:
weighted with bad record. Her
relations with her husband and
family have always been of the most
happy character. and this alone tends to
,6!isproye the statement. It is admitted
that she has not acted here with as much
caution as the average American woman
would do, but from her standpoint as ar
English actress she has rot tres
passed the bounds of pro
| priety. In London it is considered
| the correct thing for an actress 10 receivs
attentions from admirers of their ability
or beauty, and while following that custom
here she has in no manner overstepped
| tho line drawn by al! virtueus women. Mr..
Gibhardt has followed her, has shown his
admiration FOR her IL The most open man
ner, has put up at the same hotel. which
of course, lie had a right to dc. and last
night he returned to New York. Further
than an openly expressed homage, he las
not gone. The theater people claim That
her financial success here has been very
great and that the present weeks receiE FITS
VIII reach $4,000.
