Col. Henry w. Savage and Others
Exploit Views on Variety
of. Topics.

Two or three dramatic critics and a
large assemblage of near-critics and other
newspaper men saw Col. Henry W. Saw
age, theatrical producer of New York
city, trample the whole tribe of critics
under the feet of his hobby as he galloped
about in the Hobby Night circus at the
National Press Club last evening Col.
Savage's view of the situation is that the
dramatic critic stands in the way of the
development of art and the drama, be-
cause he will persist in writing from the
standpoint of personal opinion.
Rather than an honest criticism,
which we welcome he said, the critic
too often searches for nail upon which
to hang some clever sentence by which
he expects to enhance his own popularity
When managers are producing the drama
with odds of ten to one against success
they are entitled to intelligent criticism
