profession, and all pretense of acting
for the sake OF charity has been aban-
doned. He is travelling through Eng
land with a company managed by Alex
ander Keith, the role OF the leading
lady being filled by Florence Tempest.
The company has Just produced the
Newmarket play entitled An Ideal
Husband, with Lord Anglesey in the
leading role of Lord GOring
But that the company is run for the
personal satisfaction of the eccentric
young peer, rather than as financial
enterprise, may be gathered from the
fact that the pieces produced by the
company are put on the stage regard
less of expense, as far as scenery and
dresses are concerned. while the or
chestra is composed Of the admirable
private band of the marquis
As / have mentioned before, this
tondness of Lord Anglesey for every
thing connected with the stage is due
10 his education. For, owing TO the
matrimonial differences Of his parents
