ALL IN THEIR OWN HANDS.
One Reason for Success Of Gilbert and

At a complimentary dinner given to
Sir William S. Gilbert at the Savoy
hotel, London, the guest, in responding
to the toast Of his health, described
himself as IAN idle singer of an empty
day" and made a striking reference
to his copartnerShip with Sir A. Sulli-
van: During our regime at the Savoy
my distinguished coworker and myself
invariably exercised the most absolute
and undisputed control over the pro
duction of our pieces. BY arrangement
with our excellent imprSsario, DOyley
Carte, we selected our own cast; we
directed our rehearsals in every de.
tail. We superlntended the modelling
of the scenery the designing OF the
dresses. Our company was always
admirably in hand the best possible
feeling existed between them and our
selves, and, speaking for my share
of the result, can truthfully say that
the impression conveyed TO the au-
dience was almost invariably a reflex
OF my conception. To few authors In
deed has such absolute control been
accorded, and 1t is to that absolute
control that l attribute a large meas
urre of the success that those pieces
achieved on their original production
