...other words, the "dear public" does not want to pay to see a drama depicting life as analyzed by a philosophical playwright whose uniqueness has made his name and memory immortal. We study his plays in college, but seldom see them produced because "the public does not want that sort of thing." It would be interesting to make this experiment; obtain the best of Shakspearean actors for the production of the immortal's plays with the money sunk into the elaborate Broadway revue as a working capital for scenery costumes and modern theatrical appliances, and tour the country as frequently...
...Woods overlooks the fact that the playwright, the author, the poet, the newspaper, the musician--all shape public taste, thought and opinion.

Just before I left home they were preparing at Oxford to play 'Ralph Royster Doyster,' and Marlowe's 'Edward the Second...
Seeking a scene among the warm winds of the tropics, as was the case in "Al Fareedah" last year's notable production, the playwright has chosen Georgia and Tambelo, an island in the Malay Archipelago, for the setting of his plot. Mysterious events connected with pirates and tropical girls, which offer an excellent opportunity for the use of the chorus, form the central theme of the comedy...
