Langtry Dangles in New York Society War
A New York letter chronicles Mrs Langtry’s public flirtations with local dandies, rivalries with Mrs Labouchere, and Oscar Wilde, detailing bachelor dinners at Delmonico’s, sleigh rides, and a party plan backed by Henry Labouchere. Lawrence Barrett abstains from Langtry’s tour, calling her an actress no more than a curiosity.
