" THE YELLOW JACKET."

[To THE EDITOR or THE " SPECTATOR."] SIR,—Mr. " Tarn," your dramatic critic, accuses the actors in The Yellow Jacket of some of the vilest " cockneyisms." To tako one point only, he says that brahn is said for brown. This is not so; the word obviously meant is brawn, which is pronounced as it should be. The line "Observe how I contend with brawn" is spoken by an actor who happens to be an M.A. of Alma Mater Cantab. We suspect Mr. " Tarn " of being the same, but he, perhaps, is unduly conscious of the fact.—I am, Sir, &e., S. C. BLICKDEN. 36 Duke Street, St James', S.W . I.
