Volume 104 — REAL "DIPLOMACY."

No doubt of it! A great diplomatic stroke on the part of Mr. John Hare is this revival of Diplomacy—i.e., Sardou's Dora in an English-made dress—at the Garrick Theatre. An unequivocal success (of which more "in our next") on Saturday night for everybody; and, after the Play was over, the audience, inspired by "the gods," called Mr. and Mrs. Bancroft before the curtain. Mrs. Bancroft, in the course of an admirable little speech, said, "If I stood here till next week, I should not be able to express all I feel." Now as, by the right time, it was exactly 11:54 P.M. Saturday night, this clever lady would certainly not have been able in the time to express all she felt, or to say all she would have liked to say, seeing there were only six minutes left before "next week" began.
