From a postal card received last week
at this Office it would seem that Alan

and other New York scribes are to have
a serious rival in Charles Frohman, the
primal figure in the theatrical syndicate.
The communication mentioned is a postal
card confding TO the public some of the
things said about THE Girl From Max
inns" the Criterion farce, by Gotham
journals. Heading the list is the line,
Contains more ingenious and laughable
situations than any comedy I have ever
produced-Charles Frohman." Similar
quotations from the manager have adorned
several similar advertisements within re-
cent months Mr.. Frohman is scholar of
wide experience, and, under ordinary cir
cumstances, his opinian would be most
respectfully received. But when that opin-
ion concerns one of his own presentations
the reader cannot help feeling that, be-
sides being unnecessary, the criticisms are
likely TO be a bit biased. II Mr.. Frohman
did not believe his plays TO be good il is
only reasonable to suppose that he would
not have bought them and having bought
them there seems TO be small need of his
printing what he thinks of them. Then
too, though the syndicater may be honest
enough. it is not unfair TO say that he IS
probably somewhat prejudiced in favor Of
his own ventures One would hardly ex-
pect TO have him publish such comment
as, is without exception the poorest affair
on which 1 ever risked money-Charles
Frohman" Altogether it would seem that
while he may be fitted by nature to be a
professional critic, MIR. Frohman would do
we'll to stick to one of his trades or the
other. He can hardly expect to be sue
cessful in both simultaneously.
