Excerpt from The Gaiety Stage Door: Thirty Years' Reminiscences of the Theatre Tion to Jupp's book. If the more intimate memories of the Gaiety in its palmy days, the life behind the scenes, the characteristics of the late Mr. George Edwardes and the world-famous artistes whom he gathered around him, are not to become blurred by the passing of years, it is time some one recorded his impressions of the men and women who made the Gaiety a name to conjure with wherever the mother tongue is spoken. I know no one better qualified for the task than Jupp. For more than thirty years he was stage door-keeper at the old and the new Gaiety, and not only George Edwardes but many of the artistes came to trust him as a confidant and welcome him as a friend. Within his knowledge must be many secrets, scores of romances, and not a few tragedies. The stories he sees fit to tell will appeal to a wide public and not least to those of whom he writes.
