Scotch Comedian Who May Get $5,003
Per Week.
A very delicate question of veracity
has arisen between Harry Lauder, the
Scotch comedian, and his manager
over the stipend Harry is to receive
during his coming engagement in
America. Harry's manager without
the slightest resort to concealment or
evasion declares that he has engaged
Lauder to sing and act at the princely
wage of $5,000 per week. Harry mod
estly denies the allegation, says the
sum named is absurdly high and even
