So long as the republic of France
interdicts a drama because it satirizes
a fossilized government with which
France is at peace, the charge that that
country is a republic only in name
may be made with reason. In repub-
lies worthy of the name the only inter-
diction upon the drama is that which
springs from decency and the now diff
fuse canons of popular taste. They
do not do everything better over
there"
