case ii was not. The authors endeavored to
make Fanny" as much like "Jane" as DOS
sible. In doing this they produced a play
which everybody who saw it declared was
painfully like the prototype, and but for it
might possibly have been n success. But
the public nowadays is too fastidious to
accept anything unless it offers some orig
lnality. Jane" when it was first pro-
duced was like glass of sparkling fresh
drawn soda water. Fanny was like the
same beverage after the bead had departed.
Apart from this, however, another very
important factor in determining the fate of
Fanny" was the tickle public, which wor-
shlped farce season or two ago, but has
now tired of it. The thing has been over
done, that is all, and | believe that many
of our shrewd managers, like Charles Froh-
man, who, by the way, very sensibly seeks
to follow the public taste-not lead it
have recognized that fact That farce is in
its decadence in this country may be easily
proved.
