Fancy Leo Dltrlchsteln as Hn mlet!” Mr. Manteli's manager, Frederick Donnghey, said this in comment on Mr. Bell's “fancies:" “Neither Mr. Brady nor I desire to quarrel with Mr. Bell's opinion of Mr. Hothern In behalf of Mr. Mantell. But there are some things Mr. Bell ought to know. One is that Mr. Mantell wns a fine nnd »rue comedian In the years before he took up the tragic re|»ertoire. "Mr. Mantell, In Chicago, played Charles Surface in ’The Hchool for Scandal’ In a brilliant revival of that comedy that ran eight «'*ekn there In »udfenceTud the patronage at 1886.
