long ago. either, that the American manager
had TO look abroad for material; but this
day has happily passed. Ii has been no
unusual thing either. during the past few
years, to find one or more American plays
successfully presented on tho London stage.
All these fact are occasions for congratu-
lation. We have grown steadily, and
without "a past to be ashamed OF.
Whether the native drama is to maintain
its present position and advance as stead
lily as 1t has during the last few years is
bugbear however, has been overcome-the
prejudice against and Interpretation of
"home talent" 1t was said years ago that
given an opportunity the native playwright
would take his place amongst the foremost
dramatic craftsmen of the world. This hope
Is being speedily realized. Managers have
happily discovered that the theatergoer has
q greater interest In familiar homely char
acters than in French intrigues, almost al
ways of questionable proprety. Conditions
with us are not the same as they are on the
continent and so II Is that a play popu-
lar over seas is no augury that II will sue
coed with US. That We have grown very
weary of the overworked French triangle
as employed In farce is truly a hopeful
sign.
/ do not see where any reform is neces-
sary. Good plays succeed and bad ones
fail; vicious plays are driven from the
stage, and scant support Is given to the
trifing and inane. These, then, may be
said to be halycon days for the American
actor, and playwright, and manager. What
defects there may be will find speedy rem
edy, for that which Is lacking in truth cam
not long survive. VIOLA ALLEN.
