a San Francisco audience will be
much more amused by the manner in
which the professor breaks down Mrs.
Brooklyn Bridges ceiling than it will
over the splendid merriment of Sir Toby
Belch, Sir Andrew Aguecheek and NAL
volio. 1t is like the French audience,
which is infinitely moro amused by wit
than by humpr.
But comedy is not held in great favor
here. The San Franciscans being the
most pleasure loving of people, prefer
tragedy. A good, old fashioned, blood
splitting tragedy, where every one is
killed in the last act, is highly approved
of. If Edwin Forrest were alive today,
he would count his most frantic admir-
ers in the city by the Golden Gate.
Tragedy as he must have understood
it--tragedy played with all the force of
the lungs-tragedy where the murdered
victim and the despairing suicide took
half an hour to die and died acrobat
ically from the footlights to the door at
the back of the stage-would meet with
the heartiest approval here. The ele-
ment in the theaters which loved and
worshiped Forrest and his energetic
methods is larger in San Francisco than
in most cities of its size. 1t is not that
the audiences here do not contain in
dividual spectators of the highest arts
tic insight and cultivation, it is that the
majority of the audience is formed of
spectators whose taste in the drama is
very much on the same lines as the taste
in the drama of the gods in the gallery.
The spectators of insignificant education
and uncultiyated taste are more numer-
Gus than the spectators of cultured mind
and trained powers of appreciation, and
the majority rules.-San Francisco Ar
gOnant.
