CRITICAL DUTY.

The commentator the acted drama has diff
6cut course to steer in determining how far pub
uo discussion can properly be carried Of certain
obnoxious themes which only too often thrust
upon the public notice. defensive plea frequently
made by purveyors of theatrical muck takes the
form Of an inquiry: If the subject is dirty why
do YOU discuss II? That defence obviously, Is not
valid The press is obliged to take notice Of all
subjects that are largely obtruded into publicity.
The responsibility for discussion of obnoxtus themes
does not rest writer's for the press: 1t rests on
those persons who make those themes prominent
before the public vision. The proceedings of con-
spicuous actors, in prominent popular theatres,
cannot, as q rule be wholly ignored One of those
terrific "couspiraces Of critics OF which the com
munity is sometimes apprised,-whereby mention
of an unclean play and the persons associated with
It could be excluded from all the neWspapers,-
might prove effective and salutary; but such COM
pacts are never made, and if they were. the de-
sired result might not ensue. Silence, however, IS
q potent weapon when aptly used. Meanwhile 1t
IS to be remembered that exhibitions made in the
theatre are influential upon a great multitude Of
persons and for that reason are generally inpor-
tant; and when important. they ought to be truth
fully discussed: though, remarked by that fine
old satirst Peacock: 1T seldom happens that the
truth be spoken without some stricken deer
pronouncing it libel"
