The hope that William Winter, dean
Of American dramatic critics, would
patch I'D his differences with the New
York Tribune, has not yet been realized
Mr.. Winter resigned from the Tribune
early this week, after forty-four years
service. because a Sunday article ne
wrote was cut by few paragraphs.
In a statement Hart Lyman. editor OF
the Tribune. declared that Mr. WIN
ter resigned of his own accord ana much
to my regret. / thought it right not TO
publish a small part Of the large amount
of matter he wrote for The Sunday Trib-
une of August S. Mr.. Winter did not
agree with me and his resignation FOL
lowed"
Mr.. Hart has declined to say whether
the cut" was made because the article
was too long or because II conf1icted
with the Tribune's editorial policy.
Nothing is known OF Mr.. Winters
plans. but It is not considered likely that
he will retire from the field Of dramatic
criticism He has been a most produc-
tive writer. even judged by the standard
of production Of a New York newspaper
man His work has always been mark
alone in many Of his opinions. HIS
standards Of judgment were considered
those of a generation ago. He had no
sympathy with the tendency Of the very
modern stage toward realism. Ideal Get
ing. TO him, was that which conformed
most closely 10 classic standards.
Shakespeare was. in his judgment, not
only the greatest student OF human ma
Jure but the greatest dramatist OF all
time. and the Shakespearean interpret
ers Of a generation ago, Booth, Barrett.
and Forrest. he believed were actors
who have not yet been surpassed. He
discarded everything modern. He could
see nothing great, even in Ibsen.
Within the narrow scope afforded by
these standards Mr.. Winters judgment
was keen and sure. Though he Is a
contributor 10 a number Of periodicals.
his more timely newspaper reviews viii
be greatly missed If he. decides 20 aban-
don the newspaper field.
Aside from his work as a dramatic
critic, Mr. Wrater is known widely as
the biographer Of many Of the most
prominent stage celebrities. He is also
the author Of many popular books which
do not concern the stage.
Probably no other man IN America has
numbered among his intimate friends so
many distinguished authors and actors.
Among his close acQuaintsnces were
Horace Greeley, at whose invitation Mr..
Winter went 20 the Tribune; Henry ".
