Los Angeles herald., 1891-09-06

Getting up so early, Billy"
The shameless Billy, seeing that every
thing depended upon one grand coup,
replied:
Eyes, my dear, the morning was so
lovely that could not stay in bed, and
SO | am going out to enjoy the pure air
and listen to the birds"
And he actually dressed and carried
out his infamous false pretense.

Lillian Russell is getting fat, and is
taking violent exercise. Carmencita is
also getting fat, but is resting to get rid
of it. Marie Jansen's bodices yawp for
more room, and Pauline Halls tell-tale
double chin is beginning to show, while
she looks waist heavy. Little, dumpy
Adelaide Moore again begins to waddle,
while from Paris comes the har-
rowing news that Fay Templeton
looks "as fat as a lager beer saloon
keeper" Fay lost all her talent while
accommodating her excessive weight, and
Amelia Summeryille, the little she had
when she reduced herself on a diet OF
one pound of epsoms salts per week
Miss Summerville could not get an en-
gagement for several seasons, owing to
her lack of fat, but now she weighs 300
pounds again, and is to appear in
small part in Jane.
The rumors which have been in the
air from time to time of Venice in
London, says Dunlap's Stage News, are
at last about to be realized. A syndicate
has been formed purely by few per-
sonal friends OF "Barnum's former
partner" and, as consequence "Imre
Kiralfy, Limited" is the unromantic
but decidedly practical shape which
that gentleman assumes to effect his
purpose. Thus, strange as it appears,
the dukes suggestion in the Gondoliers,
of converting himself into Limited
Liability company has passed from the
mere stage of Gilbertian fancy into
the more prosaic realm of commercial
fact. Yes, thanks to electricity,
and miles of hot water pipes, they are
going to have Venice coniured up within
the walls of vast Olympia for the Lon
doners, and by and by, perhaps, we may
have the balmy airs of ST. Augustine or
Los Angeles, with Strawberries and
green peas dished up for New Workers
at the Madison Garden amphitheater.
