Although never mentioned by name in the 1900 publication, the actress Lillian Russell is referenced in at least two ways. The Casino, the theater mentioned first in Chapter XXXVIII, was the regular venue for the musicals in which Russell starred. In Chapter XXXIX a fellow chorus girl mentions "The Queen's Mate," a musical comedy by Henry Paulton, first performed in 1888 and frequently starring Lillian Russell.
