library. In the 18th century it was
different; men went to hear Garrick or
Mrs Siddons ''speak their lines" as the
phrase ran, and only incidentally were
they carried away by the genius Of the
player. A parallel to this offers itself in
the case of the opera. Before the advent
of Wagner ali opera was sung, and the
action was entirely subordinate to the
singing. Now 10 singer could obtain
leading role without the possession
of highly developed dramatic powers.
All this tends to emphasize the fact,
that it is the actor, rather than the dram
atist, that makes the play. AS a re-
suit we find plays written, and often
hashed up entirely for the principal ac-
tors benefit. Even poor Shakespeare
is occasionally SO cut and MANNED that
if he were to put in an appearance at
one of his own plays, he would scarcely
recognize it. This leads one to the con-
clusion that the much-lamented decline
of the dramatist is in part due to the
rise of the actor
A most unpleasant sidelight has been
thrown on the dramatic art lately in
New York, one that almost leads people
to believe that all this talk of the dig
nifty of the drama is mere humbug.
One of the leading writer's, George
Bernard Shaw, having written many
plays of the problem type, that kind that
centers round two women and man or
two men and a woman with unfailing
regularity, has produced play entitled
"Mrs. Warren's Profession" When
mention that Mrs. Warren's profession
is the one that Kipling calls "the oldest
in the world" some notion of the un-
savory character of the whole business
can be obtained. However, the gentle-
man who looks after New York's post
cards and morals generally (rather a
tough job, should think) instead of
