...little bare now," apologizes Baron Guy de Rothschild, 72, waving his hand at the empty black lacquered walls of his office on the seventh floor at 21 Rue Laffitte in Paris.

...ticket, but practically speaking, tickets do not exist. Even for the insider's insider, there are no strings left to be pulled. At one recent New York City-area funeral, a mourner's first question about the deceased was "What about her Nicholas Nickleby ticket?" Bernard Jacobs, president of the Shubert Organization and one of the co-producers who footed the $4.4 million cost of importing the show from London (the others: Gerald Schoenfeld, Elizabeth McCann, Nelle Nugent and James Nederlander), estimates that it "lost $495,000 in the first four weeks, but right now it looks...
