CARTE.
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 pet.i.tion by the Savoy Theatre and Operas, Ltd., and Reduced, for the approval of the Court to the reduction of the capital from 75,000 to 41,250 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).
