The first nights of new plays ara
always brilliant when the authors ars
persons of distinction, and Mr.. Tennyson'a
Queen Mary" was not an exception to the
rule His audience was worthy of his
genius, for it was composed of his peers.
The verdict was, of course, in his favor, yet
we do not believe that it will stand. Tho
very intellectually of that assembly Of
artists, poets, painters, statesmen and novel.
lists disqualified it as final judge. Tbs
strongest element Of Mr. Tennyson'i
drama-namely, its poetry-was precisely
the merit which these distinguished audi.
tors were best able to understand, and his
doubtless instant appreciation. But he can
not always expect such an exceptional audi
ence. His play must 60 before the rough
tribunal of the, common world, by which
he will not be judged as much as {
poet as dramatist. 1t would be charm.
ing if poet could always be judged by
poets, but if he writes for mankind he must
submit to its decision. Now, when the un-
professional public rushes into the theatre,
it is likely to give different opinion of the
merits of Queen Mary" than that held
by the cultured minds who did the
author honor on the first night of its
performance. It's best qualities will be the
least appreciated and its weakest points the
most easily detected. We do not mean to
say that poetry is an obstacle to the success
Of play, for Shakespeare would be enough
to rcfute that fallacy. But Shakespeare was
not only unsurpassed in poetry, but also un.
equalled as dramatist. He gave the public
what Mr.. Tennyson does not give-intenss
personal interest, powerful characters,
stormy passion, glorious humor, and plota
redundant with murders, battles, mysteries,
ghosts spectacles and combats. Take from
his works their highest poetry, the Thoughts
beyond the reaches Of our souls, and they
still remain great plays; but take the poetry
from Queen Mary" and that which is left
is OF little value. 1t may be doubted, there
fore, whether the popularity of Mr. Tenny-
sons drama will be permanent First nights
prove nothing. Mr.. Oakley Hall and Mr..
Wheeler had exceptionally fine audiences on
their first nights, and their plays were en-.
Enthusiastically applauded; but where are
ssCrucible' and Twins" now? They have
gone whittier Queen Mary" must inevitably
follow.
