Others hold that the group-place at the foot of the column properly belongs to a certain order of theatrical produc- ers. As proof of the value of their contention they point to the story of the theatrical manager, who, on being told that a play brought him by a certain dramatist was based upon one of Charles Dickens' nov els, said: "Well, you get hold of this fellow Dickens and bring him around to lunch tomorrow and we'll get his ideas and fix up a contract."
