An episode in theatrical management is made the subject of the present caricature. Just as the "red tail" writ is being served on the manager, a stage trap-door is suddenly let down, and the objectionable visitor is whisked off the scene. The wily lessee is bowing his fallen enemy out of sight with mock respect : 'Good morning, Mr. Catchpole ; you'll find more of your tribe when you get to the bottom!'
