... NOTES FROM THE THEATRES. A blank week in May is startling to the dramatic critic-- not a single new performance, not one unseen lever de rideau, not a summer madness matinee! Yet it is the fact that from May 15 to the 20th no novelties have been presented ...

... talked of 'this poor, tawdry, claptrap art of the theatre,' and affected a sublime superiority to the passion of my life. It is precisely this snobbery that I here abjure and protest against. The theatre is the meeting-place of all the arts and all the ...
... NOTES FROM THE THEATRES. Somewhere between the critics who find that The Best Man is a brilliant work and the one who refers to it as coming from the Flint Age seems to be the truth about Mr. Ralph Lumley's new farce. It is not quite so funny as The ...
