tinues in the small leahet which, in
lieu of seats, he has sent to his ac-
customed guests, "a piece is naturally
seen under fairer advantages to play
and players after the first few perform
ances.' So Bourchier processes his
entire willingness to receive the press
after the fateful first week has run it's
course, and now it only remains TO see
what the London newspapers propose
to do in the circumstances. Will they
ignore the new and unusually inter-
esting production at the Garrick alto
gether. or instruct their representatives
to buy seats in the ordinary way, or
will they fall in with Bourchier's in

or will this prominent actor
manager speedily have to eat humble
pie? These are the questions that are
now being discussed with avidity in
theatrical circles here. and while there
is little doubt what the answers to
them will be the situation that the
manager OF the Garrick has just cre-

especially in view of some recent hap

Briefly the situation in question is
this, that from now on. according TO
Bourchier's fixed intention. no repre-
