unceasing attention to his Senatorial duties,
especially in committee work. He looks now

as compared with other ages, in which there
was little or no incentive.
1T Is strange" Mr.. Frohman replied. I'm the
days of Shakespeare and the other great dra-
matte writer's the rewards were nothing In COM
parison. What they received for their work was
ridiculously inadequate. whether we consider
It from financial point Of view or regard the
renown or distinction then accorded. How dill
ferent now! Honors. emoluments, everything
in fact ready for the men who can provide the
stage with what 1t wants and yet the product

Jones I think. ranks pretty we'll up behind him.
In America our foremost playwright is Bron-
Howard. old Tribune man, by the way
though he hasn't done much lately"
What Is your judgment as to the public
taste at present."
Mostly comedy and vaudeville"
Does that mean loss OF appreciation for
tho legitimate drama?"
by no means Only the dividing lines are
more strongly drawn. On the other hand We
have a vast theatre going population, not only
in the large cities, but throughout America
which patronizes comedy, light opera and vaude-
VILE. On the other hand are the bulwarks OF
the standard DRAMA which never yield TO these
varied tastes In New-York there is always
n demand for the best Our prices and ex-
penses average the highest in the world. but
our people are willing to pay to get what they
want The art taste in NewYork is the most
cosmopolitan in the world In England the am
| btion OF an actor is first TO make a success
| and then to come TO America"
There has been good deal Of talk about
| the morals Of the stage in England What com
| parison would you make between the conditions
! there and In our own countryT
You can't make comparisons. Morality is
