No one who saw his one-act play ‘Was It a Dream?" at Proctore Mwenty-third Street Theatre yesterday wan doubt this, a Mr. Afollneux is to be feltottated upon the fact that the playwriting habit aid ‘mot fasten itself upon him earlier in life If "Was It a Dream?" had been put jon the stage before his trial for murder he might not have cecaped the electric ebair. As it is, he deserves six months, and, “to make an even dozen,” as the saying woes, the actor persons tmplicated in his Grst offense might In all justice be given tthe other six months.

But he should havo Duried this creature of his imagination mith dis past.

Why a work of such perennial fresh- ness and melodic beauty should have been dropped even for a single season from the Metropolitan repertory 1s past comprehension. Its revival at the fag end of the present season is a sad re- minder of the collapse of Mr. Grau's plans for a Mozart eyele. With the breaking of the impresario's health came an ond of his ambition to make this season notable by complete presentation of the works of Mozart and Verdi. 80 the season moves on to its close with to-morrow's night's first presentation of a one-act opera as its only actual novelty.
