There were clever artists in the cast
that created THE Rivals" but IL can
hardly be said that any Of them left one
OF the great names of the English stage
as one or two of the 1896 cast are pretty
sure to do we moderns think. Indeed.
the Covent Garden production was a
failure, chiefly owing to Mr.. Lees bad
acting. but when Mr.. Ciinch was sub
stituted and the acting version was cut
down the play became very popular \

American audiences at least, placed dear
