Stage Ethics in High Society and Abroad
A survey notes Lilian Russell refuses to perform in private at Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish's New York house arguing it clashes with a self respecting actress's dignity. It contrasts a long list of European stars who performed for pay in private settings and cites royal and papal events, plus broader notes on posthumous memoirs, political figures, and a Swinburne verse critique of the Czar. The piece also comments on longer congressional sessions and a humorous marital quip.
