two years elapsed after he presented 1.-The

and ii has taken him over three years o write
"AristOcracy." During this interval SardOu.
frances greatest playwright, has turned out
two or three dramas. and English writer's like
Henry Arthur Jones, Robert Buchanan, George
r. Sims and Henry Petit. have turned out half
a dozen. These studious writer's and common
tators, who are watching jealousy the develop
ment and advancement of the stage in this
country, have d.plOred Mr.. Towards dilatOr-
ness and censured him for what they have
termed either bis laZiness or procrasrination.
Mr.. Howard retorts that ne is neither lazy nor
procrastinator. He admits that he is slow.
He knows that he cannot produce good work
without patient thought and a PROLONGED effort.
He feels that hasty work would be unsatisfac-
tory to the public, and would accordingly tend
to dim the luster OF his hard-earned fame
MIR. Howard says that when he read over the
first part of "Arlstocracy" 1t pleased him so
little that he was unwilling TO show il even TO
his best frisnd Then followed years WORK
upon each of he four acts. One of these
scenes. he told a friend the other day, was re-
written twenty-three times.
SLOW BUT SURE.
Very few of our dramatists have the patience
or the time for such thoroughness, but it pays
in the end. Even from a financial standpoint
it Is profitable. Mr.. Howard received from
SHENANDOAH a fortune. Probably far more
money would have come to him had he written
play every six months. instead OF one play In
two years and half. SO 1t is with 'Aris-

Mr.. Towards income from royalties of "Aris-
tocracy" have already assumed Importance,
and the indications are that it will bling him In
another 100000. Howard is distinctlvely
and purely an American playwright. he is an
American, and patriotic Que at that. All of
his plays have been American and were writ

A Successful Playwri ght.

Bronson Howard. whose "ArIstOcracy" Is run
ming at the Baldwin, mas been writing plays for
the public for twenty-five years. He said so
himself In a speech he was obliged to make at
Palmer's Theater in New York, when "Aris-
tocracy' was first produced there. three
months since. The average theater-goer would
hardly think that the time would pass so
swiftly 1t seems but yesterday when "The
