This might be written appropriately OF
New York. but the dramatic critic of THE
Pail Mall Gazette" says II Of London:
THE second half Of the dramatic year has
come to its close, and before these notes
appear again we shall have entered upon
the year 1Sll. Reviewing the first half of
tho year In these columns on July I. l said
that II had not been a very remarkable sea-
son. l cannot say that now. Alasl that
cannot! For ii has been very remark
able season indeed, the most prolific in bad
plays and failures OF which | have any
recollection. Its successes. including the
musical pieces can easily be counted on
the fingers Of both hands; its failures run
into dozens. a list OF the latter would take
up too much space and would also be too
depressing to be tolerable reading"
