Managers have embraced the idea that
summer is the time for mirth and laughter.
Nature is in her best mood and her children
ought 70 sympathize with her The reign
Of comedy is desired, and therefore one con
Of Menus must be succeeded By another.
Following out this idea. it is proposed that
one Of Charles trohmaB's selected COM
panes Of comedians take the Baldwin stage
when Mr. Francis Wilson leaves 1t, and with
"GloTiana." The history Of this comedy
shows what slender dependence should be
placed On advance Judgment IN regard TO
new plays Its success in New York was
absolutely unique In some particulars.
Scarcely anything was said about the play
before its first night. The dilettanti and
men about town simply shrugged their
shoulders and said. "Fr0hman is trying a
new tlay." From tie mildness of the pre-
ljminary announcements il would appear
That the management themselves did not
place much confidence in the strength Of
their acquisition. The first might, however,
settled this effeeiually. instantaneous recog-
milton was accorded the comedy. 1t was
found both original and brilliant The crit
les next morning were unanimous In their
opinion as to the success Of this latest work
Of James Mortimer. Mr. Mortimer IS an
experienced writer, and had those In doubt
thought twice about il they might have
been assured that az least they would hnd
no evidence OF enclosures ia the work.
But the author, however. was certainly Ia
great luck TO have so closely hit the pubic
