do not want to find cut. The stage
ought to exist for us less as a fact
than as a fancy. If we have no
imagination to take to the play
house and to be there stimulated,
we had better stay away from the
playhouse. What we need above
all else in this practical age
and IN this grinding, utilitarian
country, is not mere facts, but more
romance, and it is this that the
theatre, IN its best estate, can furn-
lsh. Therefore, let us hear less
about the Individual and their peeu-
llarities and more about the charac-
ters. The whole drift of this work
a-day, shop-riddle era is towards bar
rem reality; whereas once the thea
tire pointed with poetic finger to the
ideal.
We ought to be less interested in
Clara Morris ailments and Miss An
derSon S yacht, and more interested
in their work. In our treatment of
the actor, we ought to exact excel
lence. not information. When the
player produced was a Garrick, a
Betterton, and a Kean, the theatre
held its own secrets; and the world
went in at the front door to see
not what the players were made of,
but what they could make of the
