t ANNA DICKINSON

it seems, WIS the author OF paragraph which
recently appeared in the New York edition Of

"Aurelian ~ was very flat play, 60 to, and slnl-
liar to some very brilliant illuminative novels by

could bc flat and at the same time starrlingly
resemble William Wares brilliant illu1ninatiye
| novels, called john Winter to account in about
the most sarcastic "card" ever read. She also
! wanted to know where John Winter had become
acquainted with her play. u1ld added in good
! set terms that John Mccullough Ind accepted
| the tragedy, and she had removed it from his
| han1s entirely without 4 refusal or hint OF q
refusal on his part to play 1t. In point OF fact,
/ Miss Dickinson limited with comu,endable blunt
ness that John Winter was dissenblcr.
! Tlereupon John Winter rose up and came
| for her. He began BY saying be had taken her
! play to bed with him III the fremont House,
boston, and had read 1t there in three hours OF
time. 1t will merely call attention to Warc's nov

| he had " supposed " the tragcdian had rejected
it because he said he wasn't going to play in it,
| This may be calleda square backlowR on the
| part OF John Winter. Ills original paragraph
! was written with the very apparent intention OF
conyeyi.s the idcas, first, that "aureian II was
| n. r.; second, that it was Bouccaulted from
] William Ware's novels; und, third, that the
actor for whom it was written had rejected it as
| unfit for use.
It wasn't pleasant for such adienifed journal

60 down into its boots in this way, and 1t is said
that the young editor was angry enough about
| it to have struck somebody real hard. But
! everybody rnn away, nld left him to vent his
wrath in an editorial on the relations Of slssy's
! rutlled petticoats toward April mud. In the
future there is no likelihood that John Winter
will be allowed to tackle ANA Dickinson
until he gct her where she can't strike back.

Tie dramatic agents here arc 81 63egiuning to
shape matters for next season, aud there is
probability that nearly ali the theatrical busi-
ness this summer will be done through one firm.
There has been some talk to the effect that Wall
thought OF assuming the management Of one
of Mr. Abbcy's Park Theatres, and would give
I'D his agency business iii consequence. Morris
Simmonds, who has for years been recognized rs
the solid man OF all the agents, has gone into
partnership with
COL. 7. ALLsToN Drown,
who was formerly the agent in New York. Both
men are exceedingly well liked by all reputable
managers. and are known as square" in NIL
their dealings. There is every reason to believe
they will do all the frst-class work this season.
They will hare larger apartments than any agents
have hitherto occupied in New York, at No. sd3
Broadway, opposite the Dramatic 4seus office.
This situation is above Union Square, and Is Sc
lectcd rs measure Of safety. When ail the Of
