biennial report. from 1882 to approx
imately $500 at the present time. 1t

after the piece had been running for a

The result Of Bourchier's -bouching" was
that the play received only two notices,
but he got a considerable personal adver-
tisement. II has beer remarked that neither
Bourchier nor his wife. Violet Vanbrugh,
is acting in the play and thus cannot be
criticised, but the young actress, Alex

first need Of praise in London, which would
undoubtedly ave been very full.
