'''Brigadier Gerard.'''

[[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle|Sir A. Conan Doyle]] admitted the other day that his experiences of dramatists was not a big one; in fact, he went on to say that it was a very small one, as [[Brigadier Gerard (play 1906)|Brigadier Gerard]], the new play which was produced last Saturday by [[Lewis Waller|Mr. Lewis Waller]] at the Imperial Theatre and to which further reference is made elsewhere, was the first whole-evening play for which he was entirely responsible. Sir A. Conan Doyle also said that Saturday's play was not taken from his own published stories concerning the adventures of Brigadier Gerard, but notwithstanding this declaration, as Talleyrand is a character in the piece it is not uninteresting to see below a reproduction of one of [[William B. Wollen|Mr. W. B. Wollen]]'s drawings reproduced from [[The Exploits of Brigadier Gerard]], published by [[George Newnes Ltd.|George Newnes, Ltd.]] Here we have the brigadier to the life.
