itself in the drama? Or did the public
interest in the play itself gradually grow
so strong that the managers. ever be-
hind the taste of the public, found
themselves compelled to be careful as to
the quality of the drama they offered?
Whatever the reason may have been
the play began to assert itself as the
important factor in the drama. Perhaps
cycles OF Cdmilles had wearied theatre
goers. Then Juliets, especially with an
accent. had begun to pail. and Gilbertes
were a bit stale. The cessation of the
foreign invasion brought it's plays to an
end. Bronson Howard had begun to
deal with American life. His Saratoga"
has been called by a critic the first
comedy Of social life in this country.
which is scarcely accurate In view OF
the age of Anna Cora Mowatt's Fash
ion." William Dean Howells praised the
racy Americanism of THE Old Home
stead" and there was a far reaching
howdy-do over the Harrigan & Hart
pieces. Such was the demand for the
American play.
In Just the degree that the drama was
relieved OF the yoke of the virtuoso did
1t develop. Eleonora Duse arrived and
Sarah Bernhard came occasionally to
our stage, but the foreign influence. as
the actor represented II. was small. Eng
lish actors brought the new plays OF
their country. whether It were Pinero or
Sydney Grundy who wrote them, and no
longer acted only Taylor Robertson or
some other playwright who had written
we'll for their talents. Clyde Fitch began
his studies of worldly life In this city
and continued them famously. On all
sides tho attention of playwrights was
attracted to the demand for the native
play, not only in workmanship and
theme, but in treatment
Gradually the predominance OF the
native dramatist has become fact. The
wisdom of this showman's proverb has
continued to retain its force. One need
only examine the list of successful plays
In New York to-day TO realize how en-
Enthusiastically the theatregoer patronizes
the American play when the dramatist

tlcation like 1.-THE Gold Diggers." THE

The players In "Heartbreak House"
are careful not to leave out q line OF the
text. II lie not only their natural con-
scientiousness that makes them so care
full, but the fear that some friend OF
G.. Bernard Shaw may be in the theatre.
Mr.. Shaw forbids the elision of a single
precious line from his text. 1t cannot
be touched. His plays must be acted

A friend OF Shaw, an English actor
well known In this country, happened
into the Broadhurst Theatre the night
before he sailed for England. He knew
well the text of the play. In which he
had acted abroad. So his hair almost
stood on end when from his deadhead
seat he marked the omission OF the dia-
logue. When he arrived In England his
first act was to hurry to the author
and recite the terrible massacre OF his

Advance Views of the Revues.

Managers OF the frequent revues have
invented an almost sure fire method OF
trying out the various episodes In their
productions. Even Flo Ziegfeld, who 10
considered almost infallible In SUCH
plays, does not ignore. the opportunity
OF seeing before an audience what may
be an important scene In one or ms
productions. The process Is TO SEND the
separate acts that compose these pieces
70 the outlying variety and moving PIC
ture theatres Here the sketches are
tried out. The public has the advantage
OF seeing the best actors In that field
for a smaller price and the manager can
tell how his scene goes" before an
audience.
But there was almost an outbreak the
other night when popular comedian
irving out n dramatic sketch for re-
view failed to please the audience. lie
had been n favorlte In this north side
house in his earlier days. One OF the
holder spirits In the audience shouteo
out that a song was what the OLD
friends OF the comedian wanted from
him But Il was not forthcoming. In
stead the actor explained that the auoi-
ence was lucky to get as much Tor its
money as he had given and that only
the test OF the new act had brought him
TO a theatre at which the prices were
so low. He suggested visit TO a down.
town theatre at regular prices IL his adj
mlrers wanted a song from him and re-
tired in a storm of disapproval.
But not all tho tryouts OF the scenes
In the new reviews are attended with
such dramatic circumstances.
