Booth and Barrett deserve extremely
we'll of the public; their latest great
managerial and artistic stroke is their

was suggested as a reason for the re-
ported Intention of Mr.. Booth to sepa-

That was q great SET to that New
York witnessed last week at the dinner
of the Goethe Society. Boucicault and
William Winner were pitted against
/ each other, on the subject OF line In
auence Of the Newspaper Press upon
/ Art"
Mr.. Boucicault began the fray, speak
ing from notes in the colloquial and
unstud! ed fashion with which We are all
more or less familiar. He said that the
newspaper press, as we know it to day
is one hundred years old; that before
the newspaper attained its ascendancy
and stretched Its powerful arms over
the whole earth there was drama and
there were actors worthy the name.
He drew brilliant picture Of the Eng
Iish stage forty years ago and con-
trasted it with the stage of to-day, to
the disparagement of the latter. He
said that IFS declension was in proper
ton to the ascension of the vulgar daily
journal. He claimed that genius was
now neglected for incompetence, be-
cause incompetence paid to secure no.
