Daniel Frohman's Lyceum Theatcr Com
pany. which appears here conlme ncing
Monday, at the New National Theater, is
the best example now before the public
of continuous work of talented players,
In close association for a number of years.
1t has been admitted by managers that,
only In this manner can high excellence
be attained in the profession.
Yet, in SO few instances can this be made
financially profitable, that but few mana
gers have the hardihood to attempt to
achieve that result.
Mr.. Frohman makes an annual trip
abroad for Ahe purpose of viewing the field
there, and securing such plays as he feels
will suit his public; ard during the rest of
the year, while his company is playing at
its home theater, great portion of his
time is spent in looking overthe manuscripts
which are sent to him by American authors
His desire has been 10 confine himself as
much as possible to American plays, but az
yet has found but few that would warrant
him in their production. The plays Of
fered upon this engagement are entirely
from English sources This is due, 10 some
extent, to the fact that there is vast class
N England who are cultured and have
great leisure at their disposal ,and for years
they have been growing into literary work
until they have at last distanced the French
and German schools, and the brightest
dramatic minds Of to-day are found in
England.
The first of the plays to be produced here
will be "The Case of Rebellious Susan,''
written by Henry Arthur Jones. who has
been before the public as q dramatist for
some years, but has been gradually in
creasing in popularity and in the refinement
of his work. 1t is a comedy with almost

and nlauy of the remarks have been che
and digested with more or less disastrous
results since Aubrey Beardsiey gave to
the world an alarming departure in art
in his flaming yellow pusters.
PUsters pusters! posters
They are the fad. and we might observe
In the language of Tennyson's Brook. that
fads may come and fads may ga. but art
goes un forever.
How much the puster Is identified with
art remains to be seen in its evolution from
the black and yellow and red exaggera-
tions of its present stage into really
serious and artistic combination of color
that will be agreeable TO the eye. and NOT a
puzzle to the brain.
Inconsequence of the temporary success OF
the Beardsiey cult. several local iiiustra-
tors have taken up the fad un pecuniary

not heard of any of them creating anything

The play is free from all the conventional
