COMMUNICATED Eatols New York Players Herald and Dear Friends: I am taking the liberty to address vou through the medium of this column. hecause what I am about to say is in support of a worthy cause. We are fortunate cnough to have Britain, a company of players who are cndeavoring to give us the spoken drama as it should be presented. I am not old enough to remember the plays presented at the old Lyceum theater, but it is certain that they were happy days for players and patrons alike. Now, why cannot we of a later genera- join with the rest and revive {hose times? The cast of this com- pany is quite capable of entertaining us if we are willing to be entertain- cd.
