From The Smart Set, 1912:
***Monday, the somethingth. [letter heading]***the shiny seat of [the play's] theme [Nathan]***Blanche Shoemaker Wagstaff [A real playwright's name: another Wagstaff! Could this be a relation of Gribble's?]***[Title of actual Paris revues, per Nathan]Pourvu Qu'on RigoleEnfinTais-Toi! Tu M'Affoles!Ce Que Je Peux Rire***[More snippets attached. The John Kendrick Bangs bits are from an exhaustingly in-depth "Who's Who in Wagner" series (à la "the" Who's Who) that ran for at least three lengthy installments.]
