I shall be very glad to have you suppress the scene, which, I understand, is intended to caricature me." The Manager, a prosperous brewer, who had become proprietor of a theatre for the pleasure of producing revues, which if not witty were certainly vulgar, shrugged his heavy shoulders. "You expect me to lose money! That act is one of the best we have got." "And you, sir?"
