THE ROMANTIC DRAMA.
Alexander Salvini deserves the thanks
OF the theater going public for his emil
nently successful feat of reviving the ro-
mantle drama, and the new productions of
the same school which he has in view are
likely TO have a very welcome effect.
Even though the atmosphere which sur
rounds his plays belong to period long
since past, is not the sword of a D. Artag-
nan or Don Caesar healthier piece of
stage property than the knife of a muir
derer in the lurid melodrama OF the day?
The latter is certainly more realistic and
the public of course must have ac-
ton, and by way of variety swords,
knives and pistols also. But is it not
better to perpetuate the stage pictures of
a time when men fought for honor and
valor than to illustrate the baser motives
OF depraved humanity to which the mod
ern stage is so prone?
