BosroN, 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 Gan 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 Rosalind in GAS 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
bouchere in Washington, Mr. Charles A.
Mendum, The acting manager Of the com
pany, Was seen tonight, III the absence of
Mr.. Abbey and MIR. SchoeTel in New York,
and denied i'll the most unqualified terms
the truth of the assertions Mrs. Labou-
chere is alleged to have made. Mrs. Lang
Try could not be seen, but M. Mendam,
speaking by her Authority, states that tie
relations between the two women were last
hot
far as Mrs. Langtry knows they still
continue. They will join the company
again il Philadelphia on Tuesday, tie
18th inst, when a third party will be pres
ent in the person of Mrs. Lsngtry's sister,
who will arrive here from England On
Tuesday nex., and will travel with the
company during the American tour. The
story of a lia;son with Baron Chetwynd is
CONTEMPORARY ridiculed by Mr.. Mendum,
who points to the fact that Mrs. Langtry
moved in the best society tn England, and
was an especial favorite with the princess
of Wales and other pure women, who
would never have countenanced her had
there been the slightest suspicion OF
her. In fact she was as
Cesar's 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 specialized in the success Of a
good ameteur actress who wa:
weighted with a bad record. Her
relations with her husband and
family have always been of the most
happy character, and this alone tends to
,disprove 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 an
English actress she has not tres
passed the bounds of pro-
priety. In London it is considered
the correct thing for an actress TO receive
attentions from admirers of their ability
or beauty, and while following that custom
here she has in no manner overstepped
tho line drawn by ell virtaeus women. Mr..
Gihhardt has followed her, has shown his
admiration for her IN the most open man
ner, has put up at the same hotel, which,
of course, he had right to do, and last
night he returned to New York. Further
than an openly expressed homage, he has
not gone. The theater people claim that
her financial success here has been very
great, and that the present weeks receipts
Will reach $4,000.
