her triumphs in this field were marked, she~.vas

determined to make an appeal to a larger audi

working diligently to master the intricacies of
the English idioTn, and she now speaks 1t with

several prominent Broadway managers, but

The Dramatic Mirror" last week complied a
table showing the number OF new plays pro-
duced n New-York during the season just clos
ing and also the plays which ran for fifty per-
foTTnances or more. The new plays produced
numbered PA and there were 50 revivaIs
Last season there were 222 new plays and 81
fevivaIs; IN the season before. 175 new plays and
29 revivals. Thus II viii be seen that this sea-
Bon has not been nearly productive. IN COM
parison, as last season was, and the reason is
clear This year the sudden increase in the
number Of theatres stopped Probably for
some years TO come the present figures will not
De raised TO any extent. unless there should come
q time when play aft & play failed, making new
productions imperative There We're many
failures this year, however, that an increase in
their number seems improbable. The chance
Ior playwrights must seem, in light of these
figures, more rosy than il IS sometimes painted.
4 good many Of these new plays, of course, were
imported, but enough of them were native
products 10 make the opportunity for American
euthors seem fairly large.
OF the 35 plays which, according TO THE Mir
fors' table ran more than 90 performances, %
were produced by independent managers. only
Iour syndicate productions ran more than
10 performances, and Mr. Savage and Mr.
6e-asco produced the only two plays which
ran more than zoo times, The College
widow and The Music Master" The real
t-gnihcance Of this lies Of course, in the
TACT that most OF the independent productions
were or necessity by American authors. If this
Goes not show that the native play pays better
