This feelniji ot his led him to make jilays of poor onality. but it was Kowe's ai-- ti.stic shown in his as indi- ated in his sketches, a.s expressed in his gave charm t.o his personality. He had ideals and he knew how lo dtacribe them.

Rowe Diiththave become known as a dramatist of real ability if he had puc the same energy into his work which the late Uarid Lloyd, vi iio was Imritnl l.his week, put into his. There ia no doubt that we luive in Lloyii one of our noblest and worthiest professional comrades. It is an irony of fate that a man, Avho had just hiuiself felt a-s one of pronusiiig of American dranmiists, should have l)eeu cut off at the very bloshoining of his i-areer. As a journalist, in spite of his youth, he had made felt stronijly enocgh Tlislettei-s from Washington and Albany to tjie Tribune wei-e models of sagacity, good jndgment, broad information and vigor of language, and his editorial ritinff was invariably thoughtful and robust. Perhaps his most brilliant acliMJveiueut in journalism was management of the tight asamst the anal ring when Mr.

Tilden was the (iovernor of New York. That was a newspajHir campaign of rare tact and jiow-er. and it refiected immen.se honor on the Tribune. But wa.s never to be only a journalist. tastes wore litcraiy, and 1 him more than oiico wliy he did not out into lireraturf-.

Piut it happened, oddly enoiich, that his natural lient was the stage. He good acting and goiMl and he wiis anxioiai to write good plays He went to work tu accomplish his ambition in a chiuacteristic manner. a-s rewritten seveial times before it saw the light, and, although of somewhat i-aw texture, it suited exactly the of John T. ilivymond. Indeed, Raymond looked upon tiie haraeter of Limln as to that of SfUtrs.

Lioyd was ihe author, altofrether, of four ulays. 1 besides For he wrote Woman and ho Daughter was done very niccly at 'I hcatre, and proved to have a channing touch of idyllic re.stfulness about it. It was a pretty and well-told siory of Kevolationaiy times, and, although it was not without the wonder is that it hay not enjoyed a fairly prosperous liiji. Woman is familiar lo most theatre-goers, and is to be the ma4ii.stay of Mr. Koland Reed this season, it is a rollicking bit of toolery, and was r.ot ineant to be anything belter.

As to The this unproluced piece is supposed to be eleyerest dramatic work, it 's now in the hands of VV. Il.Crane, and will be pre.sented by him shortly, it must be admitted, of course, that theatrical venture.s were merely experimental, and were by no means the fnltilrnents of his design. Rut those who were with the fine temper of hi3 mind and versatile gift had no doubt that he would rank with Jironson Ilowani and a few other 4 diamaiistJi of real note. Death, however, cut him short with barely a warning. 1 have been strolling into several of the recently ojMined theatres dunng the last few days and not without considerable enjoyment of various degiees.

Beyond however, the most effective piwluction of the early here is Bronson doali. Howard so well now in public heiii that whatever he does commands unu.snal mtere.st and attention. it cannot he denied that hd deserves all that he If he had only a little more imagination, or a bt'tter grip on strong and novel story telling, he would l)e a much finer dram- ati.si than he is. But it is not too much to say that he is the finest dramatist wo pas.soss. The literary or suggestive quality of his plays is what is most telling.

'i his Wits felt even in owed nearly all its sensational mechanism to the late A. K. was nothing so deliciously fresh in as the cliaracter of Mrs. Itroicn, and, naturally, Mrs. Ih'own owed her existence to Mr.

He is always when is ill (lie domain of comedy. Jn kShenau- doah, Ijiiwever, he attempts to and it not strike mo that he is essliil ill this. In the first place, inherent it what does noi fulfil it reaches no like thone in Mr. by the its iucidenttt are dramatic.

'I he ot palriotisni islionoHt, spread eaglcd, Thero is not a trace of otlensive suggestion anywhere.

In fine, Mr Howard has a delicate subject with wisdom and grace. If he has not written a play as strong by the I'aicmy, he has written one whieh will take nothing away from his reimtation as a gilted American dram'atist. In a t.oim what ilitfercnt, form, has alrn eii seen in Boston, so that 1 am not, obliged to givo any iic- connt of its plot in this letter. It is, iiii the whole, acted at the Star Ilieatre, audit has won all the aj)planse that Mr. Howard could desire for it.

It is always diflicult to wliat the fate of such a play as 1 (iruat which now been liinning for more than two weeks at the 'I'wenty-thinl Street Ihea- tro, mav be. It is a melodrama, onstructed wholly with eye to the box ofluc, (Hi the pilnciple that olays of class, when well appe.d to the large ami unthinking majority.

In general, it is not ne( essary to comlemn a melodrama oil-hand infiely because it is Ixiiind to be more or less seti- sational, and improbable. A t.iirly deeeiit melodrama, like a bit ot farce or burlesiiue, is often a relief from moie serious meat.
