VOL. XII.--NO. A..
Failure of Bret IIarte's Drama in
New York.

The New York Times prints the following :
Last evening probably for the first time 10 his
career, Mr. Stewart Robson was the object of
public pity. 1t was the occasion OF the produc-
ton before New fork audience at the Union
Square Theatre OF Bret Hartes drama, written
expressly for Robson, at q cost of $4,000 cash,
and q royalty Of $50 per night. to continue 10
the amount Of another S300O It is the excuse
Of the coming American dramatists, for the in
tervention in the back ground, that the managers
and actors of the day are incompetent TO decide
on the literary merits of play from merely read
ing the manuscript, and that they must see q
play IN action before they can tell whether it is
good or bad. Unfortunately for Mr.. Robson, be
has demonstrated this general proposition in a
special and 10 him very expensive way. He
has paid an enormous sum for piece of writing
that has not scintation of wit nor the slight
est degree Of literary merit. 1t had fair trial
in Chicago, and Mr.. Robson was reluctantly
forced to see the mistake he had made Intent,
however, on retrieving bis fortunes and getting
his money back, be insisted on trying it in New
York, and the result was last evenings perform
ance. The audience assembled was brilliant,
large. good humored and indulgent, but the piece
was too much for any good nature, however
strained. and it may be set down as the worst
failure witnessed on the boards of our theaters
for years. The piece is utterly aimless, is with
out coherency Of plot, de6niteness of purpose or
action, and lacking in any sort of artistic sym
metry in its model or its Characterization. In
its dramatic personnel, its sentiment is maudin
and mushy its plot shallow, its pathOs laughabe
and its wit lachrymose. All in all, it s proof
that the ability to write slangy poem does not
qualify one to writo play.
