GetermIned that should play nothing

Tho English playwrights determined
that should always be the same VII
lain The London manager determined
that no piece should be produced, II ne
could possibly help It, unless ! played
the villain in It. Competition FOR my
services-as a villaln-only as villain
was tremendous. Every post brought
me letters from gentlemen who had
written plays-l believe every man I'm |
the world has written play-the lead
ing part In which was especially suit |
ed for me, that leading part / need |
scarcely tell you, was e. villain. The |

During all this time, strange TO say,
was becoming popular, a thing almost
nheard Of In an actor Of villains. At
