others of scarcely less note were handling ma

safely left to the pedants. But it must be said

be said that it was also somewhat rank. Plays

because of some element of farce or of vigor-
Gus drama rather than because of their finer
qualities. The Broadway public was larger
than ever before; but by the same token its
common denomination was lower. Plays sue
ceeded by virtue of being strong rather than
by virtue OF being fine; in spite of the note
OF distinction rather than because OF it.
The reason was obvious enough. The IN

very strict limitation in the fact that tor the

though others Of rare ability played from time
to time they were makeshifts, not regular
members of the company AS regular members
we could neither afford nor obtain them.
Now there is a very large class OF plays that
depend for success on the personality and the
art OF the leading actor. The authors very
naturally refused TO let us produce them.

England. France and Germany found their way

little recompense, at the worst, for the ex-

found that over half the time an evening
spent in the theatre was a total waste. There
was the difficulty, too, of getting tickets. The
enormous increase of the transient public
of people on errands of business or Of pleasure
crowded into brief sojoum-had thrown all
the best seats into the agencies. 1t required
always an increased price, and often much
time and vexaton at the telephone, to get the
tickets for those plays that proved. on the
whole, so unsatisfying.

cnce of these accomplished writers on the

ing--1ot fine writing" but Clear and cogent
Erglish-was to be seen on every page and in
every department. in the news columns as we'll
as in the editorial articles and in the cor

Another result was that The Tribune then
paid especial attention to literature. 1t made
a practice of reporting addresses and lectures
almost in full. When Huxley and Tyndal
visited the United States. one after the other,
The Tribune gave a space to the reports OF
their lectures far ampler than did any other
American newspaper. And even so late as the
fall Of 1883, when Matthew Arnold delivered
his first lecture in New York on Numbers"
The Tribune reported it so amply that Gen.
eral Grant called at the Office to thank the
editor for having presented the main points
of the address. Matthew Arnold records this
visit in one of his letters to his sister, Mrs.
Forster: The number of people whom, some
how or other, / reach here is what surprises
me-" he wrote; and it plainly pleased him as
mich as it surprised him.
