The starting of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas: a letter written by R.
D'Oyly Carte in 1877 to "My Lord" (unnamed), apropos of a proposal to
form a small company to produce the operas. Printed in the _Pall Mall
Gazette_, May 1, 1907.
The petition by the Savoy Theatre and Operas, Ltd., and Reduced, for the
approval of the Court to the reduction of the capital from L75,000 to
L41,250 was heard before Mr. Justice Walton, August 26, 1903 (_Times_,
August 27). This led to a very interesting letter from Gilbert in the
_Times_ (Aug. 28) and one in the _Telegraph_ by Mrs. Carte (Aug. 29).
PORTRAITS. Four reproductions are inventoried in the _A.L.A. Portrait
Index_ (Washington, 1908: p. 259), including that by "Spy" in _Vanity
Fair_ (1891: xxiii, plate 498).
