| Content Summary: |
He produced a new play 'The Amadan' at Wallack's NY the last Monday and attaches a cutting. He discusses Irving's winter tour with details of theatres to be used, etc. Booth's is a 'charity barn', Wallack's much better & preferred by named actors. 'Spooning' by the Opera Bouffe Co. takes over from him. John McCullough played 3 weeks at the Boston Theatre for £6000 receipts; he took £3000. Mrs Langtry is doing well on £600 a week and still parading "the idiot Gebhardt". He is glad Irving enjoyed the banquet. Love to Ellen Terry, regards to Stoker & Toole. |
