The Dignity of the Drama.

There is nothing the newspaper reporter
enjoys dealing with 50 much lin the opinion
of the London Whitehall Review as a case
in which an actor or actress figures. A
writer is certain to make excellent copy
when he has theatrical dirty linen to wash,
and as there seems to be no disinclination
on the part of large proportion of the
theatrical profession to have its soiled linen
cleansed and aired in public, there naturally
arises in the peoples minds an unhealthy
interest in the wiles of the player. 1t is the
journals which deal with the personal title
tattle Of the stage which are most esteemed
by the PLAYER, and as at the moment per-
sonai journalism Is in the ascendant. this
same noxlous and idle tautle is also relished
by the play-goers. WearP, OF course, speak
ing only OF a certain pOrtiOn-thOugh, I'M

the dramatic profession. i he more cuti-
waited of its members eschew this pernicious
element, which does so much TO jeopardize
the moral tone of the theater and to give its
sanctimoniouS enemies good cause for hold
ing up the finger of seOrn. We are aware
large and varied that it is impossible to have
Its art ministered to by only serious and re-
spectacle people; We feel that the publicity,
which cannot be aiienated from the actors

which tends TO lOoseDess of habits as well
as of morals; but we see no reason, seeing
how much the dramatic profession claims
that 1t shall have intercourse with the higher
social grades. that 1t should not do some
thing to keep its name honored and re-
spected.
