praisng the English version of SardOu's Dora"
given at the Prince of Waes Theatre under the title
Diplomacy" The truth is, twice saw the original
at the Vaudeville, in Paris. and it requires some
courage to see tho English arrangement
of it, with Mr.. John Clayton in place
Of BertOn, and Mrs. Kendall essaying the role
which Blanche Pierson created The play itself,
also has been much hacked about; partly with
view to make it square with English notions OF pro-
prety. Still greater liberties were lately taken
with still more famous play of Sardou, his master
piece. Patrie" which the ingenious Mr.. Labou-
cherc brought out at his theatre the Queens. as

signal catastrophe happened ut the Olympic last
week, where Mr.. W. s. Gilbert's "Ne'er do Well"
was most theoretically damned by its first night
audience, and with equal unanimity by the press !;
and has been Withdrawn. Mr.. Gilbert improves the
occasion by publishing a short address TO the pub
lie, admitting they were right, but undertake
ing to rewrito the piece and reproduce 1t
with the least possible delay. Then he
goes on to say: Probably five out of every six
comedies and dramas produced in London are adap-
ations or TRANSACTIONS from the French, and in their
case success more or less marked, may be regarded
almost ms matter of certainty. An entirely orig
inal play is, of necessity, experimental, and may
perhaps lay claim on that account, to somewhat
more merciml consideration at tho hands OF the
press and the public than translated or adapted
piece, whose plot and situations" have been pre-
viously submitted to and approved by the most
critical audience Europe" No harshcr criticism on
the state of the London stage has been uttered, ard
though the dramatist from whom it comes has been
disappointed for the moment, he has had successes
IN his time. He tells us. in large type, and in per-
feet English, that his zeal in behalf of original
English drama may be gathered from the fact that
of more than fifty pieces produced by him in Lon
don only three are adaptations from French plays"
For myself, | don't think l ever managed to sit
through the whole of any of the two or three OF
Mr.. Gibcrt's fifty plays which have seen. But let
him have all credit for his honest effort To the
theatrc-gong moralist however. this question in
casuistry may be propounded whether it be more
wicked to write dull play or to steal clever one
On the answer will depend the reputation of Dir.
Gilbert and most of his fellow playwrights.
