Bates had been, like the celebrated Rich, both a Harlequin and a manager, and was found as an underling at Drury Lane by Wignell. Bernard, in his amusing book, thus mentions him as an acting manager. ** Bates, as most acting managers are, was the commander of his company on the stage and in the closet. He Hosted by Google MR. BATES MISS BROADHURST. 241 played all the best parts, and thus laid claim to the character of the superior actor." As an actor he is thus mentioned, when under another man...age- ment very dissimilar to his own. His manager was present in a first-rate character at rehearsal, when Bates entered to deliver a message, which he did with all theflourish of a hero, who had been preceded by the sound of a trumpet. " Mr. Bates,'' says the principal, "you surely don't intend to deliver that message in that manner to-night?" "Yes, sir, but I do." "You are too loud, sir." " Loud, sir ! not at all, sir ; I'm only energetic. I've got a benefit to make as well as you, sir."
