Dra- Ameri A Brit experie te Mr. I3 AL Proctor, has declared that public taste in this country, so far as the theater is con- or, perhaps, re- level. Ho declares ll\ul nux people, as arule, eave little for ve or fine in drama: their preference for the trivial and vulgar being marked. For one reason or an- sons could be given by an acute student of our people.and of the pecaliar conditions which beset them-—the British critic is not far wrong in his statement. To one honest lay that is popular in the average ity or town, there are twenty ]mpulm picees of a quite differ- ent character, peces in which the clown, the acrobut, the dancing girl, and the gaudy young pervson in silk fleshings, figure prominently, Fxhibi- tions of scenery aud half nude women satisfly much of our public taste. Nearly all our managers areshowmen. Nearly all our theaters are show-houses. The eiveus is our most attractive form of en- tertainment, and, for that matter, it is one of our most respectable forms. 1 donot mean to say that good plays are not produced, and successfully pro= duced, in the cities of the United States. 1 could mention several excel- lent dramas which have been frequently between Boston and - San and it is w known that vorite. New York companies are b eIt pplauding welcome at the west. Our leading uctors, move- not exeepting those whose reper- s are made up chicliv of Shakes- verian works, may usually count upon publie support in the rich centers of population. But,when we look frankly, dispassionately, at the good and the bad in American taste, the f(l('l remains as 1 have stated it; the good 1~4 fHuctnating quantity, upon RehtookE0) lid depend- ence can be placed; the bad is so cer- tain and wide-spread that it can be ap- pealed to with safety. Actors. authors and managers appeal to it constantly and the result is grossness vastly over- shadowing merit at every point. Theatrical Taste. How Mr. Paliner Became a Manager. American Magazine: It was acef- not voluntary design, which 1t Mr. Palmer to the American The son of a well known and wed clergyman, the e h surrounded him du youth were those of a tranquil conser: tism. He was the last person, appar ently, destined to b guide the for- tuncs of our theatre. ~ At the time he was called, to his own surprise, and to of all others, to assume management of the Union Suare , he was absolutely without ex- pe rience in theatrieal business. He had studied law, and had held an im- por n'the Mereantile library, The peaceful atmosphere of the library suited his tivo temperament and somewhat lit aste: and [ presume it was not without misgiving, perhaps not without repugnance, that he took charge of a theatre, which possessed neither tradition nor respectable stand- ing.
