Lillie Langtry<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      I don’t know myself exactly why, but I took it into my head to call upon Mrs. Langtry last Thursday afternoon. Of course I had already followed the example of all the other managers in this city, and had offered \u201cmy little theatre\u201d to Abbey, if it would be of any use to him (though, by the by, I haven’t received any reply to my letter makin\u2019 the offer from Abbey yet, because, I suppose, he has been so busy). But I really didn’t have the faintest notion of callin\u2019 on the Jersey Lily till I happened to find myself passing the Albemarle Hotel and saw the crowd of reporters and swells, all mixed up together, and almost blockadin\u2019 the entrance to the hotel. Then I suddenly took it into my head to try my luck, and makin\u2019 my way with difficulty through the throng, I reached the office and had my card sent up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      While waitin, I got talkin\u2019 to the gentlemanly hotel clerk, and he told me that since the lady\u2019s arrival the hotel people have had to keep four high-priced detectives constantly at work penetratin\u2019 the designs and disguises of men about town and club men, who have been gettin\u2019 \u2018emselves up as waiters, or messengers, or tradesmen, or English lords and dukes\u2013or anythin\u2019–so as to get a chance to get into the Langtry parlor. Just then the hotel annunciator was struck and a number displayed. \u201cThat is from the Langtry\u2019s apartments,\u201d said the clerk to me, and immediately seven different men, who had been sittin\u2019 on a bench, dressed as waiters, started to answer the summons\u2013only one of whose services were accepted. \u201cThe other six are Union Club men in disguise,\u201d remarked the clerk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I now began to think a little about myself, and wondered what on earth I should talk to the Langtry about in case she was kind enough to grant me an interview. I didn’t want to ask her any impertinent questions; besides, almost every possible impertinent question had already been asked her by the reporters. Yet I must say something. Finally I determined to be guided by circumstances, and just as I had arrived at this resolve, a waiter approached me and told me that Mrs. Langtry would be happy to have me walk upstairs. My card had been graciously received, I suppose, because I hadn’t made any fuss over it and took my chances like a man, or because I was originally from h\u2019old h\u2019England, or because she may have heard of me as one of the \u201cinstitutions.\u201d At any rate I was to be \u201creceived,\u201d and as I followed the waiter upstairs a swell rushed up to me and offered me a hundred dollar bill to let him go up in my place. But \u201cmoney was no object now,\u201d and I walked right on and up, and a little quickly, too, as I saw Buffalo Bill, with his long hair and his fur-lined coat, walkin\u2019 up ahead of me. But before I could reach up to Billy he had gone into a room\u2013into the very room into which I was shown by the waiter, too\u2013into the Langtry parlor. This surprised me a good deal, but I was surprised still more when goin\u2019 up to Billy, as I thought him, and offering him my hand, I found he was not my friend Buffalo Bill at all, but only Oscar Wilde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made the best of the mistake, though, as I always do, and said somethin\u2019 about it’s \u201cbein\u2019 a fine day.\u201d \u201cDon’t say fine,\u201d said Oscar, \u201csay beautiful. Let us have more of the beautiful, Mr. Hill, if only in our speech. The day is beautiful, just as I am the beautiful apostle of the beautiful.\u201d I bowed to the rebuke, and then asked Oscar how he found the \u201caesthetic racket\u201d work, but before he could reply in fittin\u2019 terms I heard a gentle rustle of silks. I saw a pretty, graceful woman with a pleasant smile,,and I heard a musical voice utterin\u2019 the words, \u201cIs this Mr. Harry Hill?\u201d I told her I was, and I found she was Mrs. Langtry. After a little preliminary \u201ctaffy\u201d I said to Mrs. Langtry, who put me at my ease at once, as every true lady does a visitor:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cHow’s Wales?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cThere must be some error, Mr. Hill,\u201d replied the lady. \u201cI have not come from Wales. Or perhaps you were thinking of Madame Patti. She has a place, I believe, in Wales.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I answered Mrs. L. that I was not alludin\u2019 to the country Wales, but to the individual Wales\u2013to the Prince of Wales\u2013to Albert Edward, in short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cOh, that Wales is quite well,\u201d replied the lady. \u201cI haven’t had my usual cablegram from him yet to-day, but I suppose Mr. Abbey has received it for me. He generally sees to these things, you know,\u201d with a wink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cThen there was no truth,\u201d I ventured to remark, \u201cin that ice business?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cWhat ice business, Mr. Hill?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cOh, that story of your dropping that piece of ice down Wales\u2019s back once at supper or dinner.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

       \u201cThere was never was a word of truth in that story, Mr. Hill,\u201d said the lady, slightly frownin\u2019. At least not as far as I am concerned. There was a piece of ice dropped down his Royal Highness\u2019s Imperial back, but it was not dropped by me, but by that\u2013that other\u2013that other person\u2013that Mrs. Cornwallis West.\u201d And the Lily\u2019s eyes snapped fire as they uttered those three words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

       I pressed this point no further, but havin\u2019 asked after the Prince thought it my duty now to ask after the husband.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cHow’s hubby Langtry,\u201d I inquired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

       \u201cWell, really, Mr. Hill, I don’t exactly know,\u201d replied the lady, with a charmin\u2019 smile. \u201cI don’t hear from him, you know, as regularly as I do from Wales. But when last heard from he was doin\u2019 well, keepin\u2019 an inn, or shop, or something of the sort, over in Holland, I believe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cDo you expect him over shortly?\u201d I inquired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cHim? Who? Wales or Langtry? Which?\u201d said the lady.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cYour husband.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cOh, no,\u201d replied the Lily. \u201cMy manager will not allow him to come over to America. Cruel, isn’t it, to part husband and wife this way? But it is business, you know, Mr. Hill. And, after all, he will get his share of the money I make in America after I’ve made it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Then I asked after Mrs. Labouchere. \u201cOh, she’s well,\u201d said the Lily, cheerfully, \u201cand as lively as a kitten. She looks upon this whole American scheme as a lark, and is havin\u2019 no end of a good time. She is lyin\u2019 down just now; overworked herself at rehearsal to-day. She makes \u2018em all stand round at the theatre, you know. She told Arthur Wallack to-day that she was the real stage manager, and so she is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Then we got talkin\u2019 about matters and things, and among the things discussed was Patti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      I found that Mrs. Langtry had a very high regard for Patti; first because she could draw more money than she could, and next because she had struck upon a new line of advertisin\u2019, promisin\u2019 to wear in her operas this winter in New York dresses that are to be worn as the fashion in Paris next spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cWhy, this sort of thing will bring all the women in New York to the opera. Not to hear the music of the present, but to see the demi-toilettes of the future,\u201d remarked the Lily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cWhy, it beats the Park Theatre fire as an advertisin\u2019 scheme, \u201c I agreed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

       The fact is, Mr. Hill,\u201d she added, \u201cNew York beats even London in free advertising,\u201d said Mrs. Langtry. \u201cOne woman makes herself a strong attraction by a libel suit. Another woman takes advantage in advance of my arrival here and announces herself as the handsomest woman on the stage. Think of that! And really I receive about a letter a minute, take the twenty-four hours through, offering me any amount of commissions, or goods, or even money direct, if I will endorse or recommend some line of goods\u2013some hair wash, or tooth wash, or face powder, or glove, or corset. Why I get even more letters from tradesman than I do from spoons or cranks. One horrid man yesterday gave me all these horrid pills,\u201d pointing to a bottle on the shelf, \u201cif I would only swallow one and say it did me good; ugh! and he offered to call it \u2018The Langtry Pill.\u2019 Just fancy!,\u201d and the Lily shuddered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Your correspondence must be very extensive,\u201d I remarked, lookin\u2019 at the pile of letters lyin\u2019 on the table, most of \u2018em unopened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cYes,\u201d said Mrs. Langtry, \u201cit is; but then it is all on one side\u2013the other side. Yesterday I got a letter from one woman, a perfect stranger, asking me to advance her a thousand dollars to go on the stage with, and kindly promisin\u2019 never to play any of my special roles, so as not to interfere with me. Another party wants me to subscribe to some worthy charity, whose very name I never heard of before; a third writes to know whether I am a Christian; another sends me a tract, while one of my friends recently received a long letter from a woman residin\u2019 on one of your streets\u2013Madison avenue, I think it is called, askin\u2019 the question, \u2018ought we,\u2019 by we meaning New York Society, \u2018to visit her?\u2019 by her meanin\u2019 me, just as if I had any time or inclination to visit them,\u201d said the Jersey Lily, sniffin\u2019 the air scornfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The bare idea of a woman who \u201crefers, by special permission, to H. R. H. the P.W.  bein\u2019 debated about as to whether or not she is good enough to be visited by the wife of some wealthy butcher or baker or the daughter of some retired candlestick maker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      It made the lady indignant\u2013almost as angry as when Nilsson the other day called her dear friend and chum, Oscar Wilde, a fool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Well, I passed a very agreeable ten minutes or so with the beauty, who, by the by, is as beautiful as\u2013and not a whit more beautiful than\u2013a thousand other women in New York, and then took my leave. I did not want to become, like Emily Faithful, or the strong-minded women, a bore, so I just put two leadin\u2019 questions, and received two direct answers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cWhat do you like most in America, Mrs. Langtry?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cThe American dollar, Mr. Hill.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cWhat do you depend on chiefly to keep up the Langtry boom?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cThe Langtry luck.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cYour head’s level, ma\u2019am,\u201d said I to the Jersey Lily; and then shakin\u2019 hands with Oscar, givin\u2019 him the address of a friend of mine where he can get his \u201clillies fried\u201d and his \u201csunflowers on toast\u201d at a reasonable rate, and promisin\u2019 to get him up a private prize fight at my little theater anytime he gave me notice, thus affordin\u2019 a free view of whatever is \u201cbeautiful\u201d in the way of muscle, and givin\u2019 him the aesthetics of athletics, I pledged myself to attend the Lily\u2019s debut at Wallack\u2019s to-morrow night in full evening dress. I then bowed myself downstairs just as right Sanford was coming up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
