with a good part, one in. which I can score?". "Joseph's Sweetheart was decided on in this way, because the dramatist saw In Parson Adams A wonderful character for Mr Thorne. Next comes the question of the theatre and the company. Whaj will suit the Vaudeville will not suit the Adelphi, and what might do very well for the Lyceum is impossible on a smaller stage. If for a small, theatre, the lewer scenea the better: if for a fashionable.one, some fine modern interiors" are indispensable.
A subject selected, a play written and accepted, the play is not yet completely made.". It has to pass through the crucible of stage manage- ment, which begins with the selection of the actors to perform in it. In England, as a rule, this is felt a great deal to the author, who, in many cases, not only directs the rehearsals, but easts the piece" designs the scenery and invents the business. The popular notion that a stage play, is a crude piece of work handed over to be completed and polished by a professional stage manager, may be put aside as quite uninstructed. In some cases, it is trus, the author's, work ends with the writ ing of his manuscript. A professional stage manager is valuable as an assistant to the author, but the dramatist who cannot produce his work without such assistance is ignorant of one half of his craft. Perhaps the best living stage manager of his own pieces is Mr. Dion Boucicault, Mr..W. S. Gilbert and Mr. Pinero are also admirable. In many cases, however, too fittle is left to the actor's own invention; he is made to speak his part and do his "business, too often, like a machine, The greatest secret. of successful stage management is to select performers suited by nature for the character they represent, and it is, I believe, a diclum of. Mr Boucicault that he would rather have to deal" with an amateur whose personality fitted a character than with the most experienced actor who didn't' posvess "fitness."
A play, I suppose, cannot be considered quite "made till the critics have decided as to its merits, and the public have pronounced as to its attractions. Here in England successes are often determined by the first night's reception and the next morning's criticismi "but in many cases both reception and criticism' are quite illusory. Pieces like "The Private Secretary and "Our Boys' run for thousands of nights, though pronounced on their first production practically worthless; while plays applauded to the echo often fail to draw money enough to pay the theatre gas bill., It often happens, also, that, a play if merit fails for many weeks to draw money, and then, through the patience and con- fidence of the management, is played to crowded houses.
Very frequently, indeed 1 may say very generally, it is not the play as a whole that attracts, but something in it-some situation, some novel character, some remarkable piece of acting that catches the public fancy. The dificulty always is, to get audiences audiences when seured, are easily entertained Wild horses will not draw the public to see certain plays, which, it once seen, would be heartily enjoyed. One great factor, perhaps is a taking title; another, a popular and attractive company. 'I 'fear, after all, that I have not succeeded in explaining the mystery, how plays are made; but perhaps some of my remarks may be of in- terest to that 'outside public which interests itself in affairs theatrical.. What I have wri ten establishes, at least, that plays are act altogether made "in the study," and that a dramatist, to be successful, must combine with some iterary gifts the craft of the stage man- ager, the prudence of the manager proper, and a techoical knowledge of the necessities and resources of the theatre. How easy a drama- tist's life would be, if his work began and ended with his manuscript! The play which may take some months to write takes several more to perfect and produce-in a word, to "make" into a coherent theatrical production; and even then, when all is done that can be done, it is often labor thrown away. Seen in the ill glare of gaslight or electric light, the carefully planned structure turns out to be built of sand, or comes down,' through some inherent. weakness, like a house of cards) and then, amid the jeers of those who only think of present failure to please and never remember former services, the poor dramatic author has to creep- home and try again." The dramatist's life is nat a bed of roses after all. Seeing how hard he has to strive and how uncertain are his rewards, he might, I think, receive a little more courtesy from some of those ho pronounce judgment upon his work.
