Another alarming tendency is the
showing of adaptations of foreign
plays. with an arrangement for Amer

authors of these foreign plays would
no more have recognized their work in
the American translation than had
they seen Uncle Toms Cabin" under
their titles. Strange it is that the
adapta ton. or | should say, amputa-
ton. is more offensive than the orig

When we do get good foreign play,
we proceed to change it.

DICKENS A UNITARIAN
