chase a letter written by Edwin Booth

him an article on the drama. Having no
literary ability whatever" wrote the great
tragedian, II must decline your fiattering
invitation; nor do l know how to aid the
worthy cause you advocate. Could | do
so, be assured ii would be fully done
My knowledge of the modern drama is SO
very meager that l never permit my wife
or daughter to witness a play without

fault. If the management of theaters
could be denied TO spectators and placed
In the hands of actors who value their rep
utation and respect their ealing, the stage
would at least afford healthy recreation

ParI5-~Fallen Among Thieves"


Fallen Among Thieves opened it's
Christmas engagement at the Park yester-
day with two well-attended performances.
There is any amount of interesting mater
ial in this melodrama and it has been well
worked out by Frank Harvey who is a
successful writer of sensational plays. The
people in the cast are competent and tell
the story of the play in a way that inter
ests the audience. The scenic features are
particularly fine, the best effect being a
view of High bridge at Harlem This scene
is where the play eliminates and wom-

The comedy characters of the play are well
sustained by Barney Reynolds Charles

additionally attractive with a speciality.
Both comedians were kept going for half
hour yesterday, the audience insisting on all
they had in stock in the way of entertain
ment. In the cast are Wilbur Collier Hud-
son. Mills Hall, Henry Pierson, L. +. How
