KETT YORK THEATRICAL CRITICS.

For The Evening TeUgrapK
There has been a very great change la theatri
cal critics and theatrical criticism la the city of
New York daring the last tea years. It is
claimed by journalists whose experience in
Gotham dates as far back as that, that there Is
no such thing as theatrical criticism la New
York at the present day, but that all the glory
Was absorbed by that brilliant epoch. Let us
hope that this opinion is pronounced only be
cause of the habit people- fall into of over
praising the good that is past and undervaluing
that which is present. Doubtless some bright
Blinds were In the habit of meeting together
and exchanging mutual dazzles in an atmosphere
dim with smoke and the lack of ventila
tion. But now the wits are Hod, their
jokes are dead, and all but Clapp departed.
Clapp, the veteran Figaro who has contributed
for so many a year to the Leader, still keeps his
accustomed seat in the fore part of the subter
ranean saloon, drinking his beer, smoking his
pipe, and evidently enjoying the perquisites of
Teteranhbod and notoriety.
Half a dozen names will more than cover
those of Now York theatrical and musical
critics who deserve especial mention. I have
Dot given the musical critics a separate niche
because there is not enough of them either in
quantity or quality to warrant it. Music meets
with very little criticism In New York, the re
marks generally beBtowed upon it in the journals
being Tery little beyond the capacity of smat-
terers in melody to understand. We shall
therefore confine ourselves mostly to the gen
tlemen whose newspaper disquisitions are re
stricted to the drama, and the people who in
terpret il.
The bevr of newspaper men who used to
meet together years ago numbered some
of the brightest Bohemians In the city. Somo of
these are dead, some are married and grown
moral, some have newspapers of their own, and
with enlarged fields for ambition have overcome
many of their vagrant propensities. Of all the
brilliant circle Clapp alone remains like an
amiable feullletonlstlc Fagin mumbling over the
memories of more garish days.
To eet Into our subject, however, the most
reformed and moral critic In New York, so far
as writing for the stage goes, is Mr. William
Winter, more, familiarly known among his
confreres as "Willie" Winter. Any one who
wishes to see a portrait of this gentleman may
do so by consulting the light-and-shadow photo
graphs at the entrance to Brady's photographic
gallery, at the southwest corner of Tenth street
and Broadway, where it is displayed among a
number of other New York reputabilities. He
has a genial, discerning face, bright black
yes, smooth face, and moustache of the
pensive order. He Is a very polished
writer and a widely-read man, though by no
means a profoundly educated one. He never
writes carelessly, never permits a crude simile
r an awkward sentence to appear in his dra-

conscientiousness that it is difficult to believe he
is extremely swayed by personal prejudices,
, which his acquaintance among actors and ac
tresses gives him the opportunity of fostering,
Personally he is a right good fellow, charming
In his manners, frank and genial la his speech.
Before going upon the Tribune he was dramatic
critic for the Albify, that dead-and-alive Eng-

at present. The sternest accusation that any
one can brlntr aeainst Mr. Winter Is that he is
in the habit of overpraising that theatre in
which hU wife happens to be engaged. I do
not think the accusation is true, for the
lady is at present a member of Mr. Booth's com
pany, and one or two articles, not altogether
complimentary to that theatre have lately ap
peared in the Tribune. Whatever the lady may
be la Drlvate life, she is entirely too bad an
actress to deserve that one word of serious crl
tlclsm should be bestowed upon her. Her name
Is never mentioned by the New York press, for
the simple reason that it cannot be mentioned
with praise. She has some claims to literary
ability, and has written some graceful sketches
lor the New York weeklies. Mr. Winter is na
turally tenacious about his position, and very
maturally resents anything which resembles an
attempt to interfere witn it. vvnen, some seasons
.ago, Kate Field wrote in the Tribune the crlti
clsms on Rlstori, and Clarence Cook prepared
the articles on Dickens' readings, he naturally
felt himself aggrieved and his province invaded

aglng editor of the paper was to make every
department as impersonal as possible, and to
destroy identities by confusing them. Hence
this distribution of criticism.
Mr. Wheeler is the dramatic critic of the
World, and is suspected to contribute to the
' Sunday editions of that journal the series of ar
tides signed "Nym Crinkle." Ills experience
newspaper life is by no means brief, and is not
confined to New York, lie is very industrious,
and has of late, besides attending to his duties
on the World, been attending to the dramatic
interests of Wilkes' Spirit of the Times. Many
people deem him the best theatrical critic in
' New York, though they are not so sure when
they come to talk about his analysis of music.
lie is the gentlemen who objects to Mozart, and
thinks his style went oat with the stage coach.
As with almost all newspaper people who write
a great deal, his articles are not evenly good
There is often a great falling off In the Interest of
fee Sunday reading-matter, though from time to
time a singularly well-written article proves
that he has either taken more than usual pains
or has felt peculiarly in the vein. One of the
evidences of this was a recent review of Mr.
Fechter, and probably the best thing ever writ
ten under the name of Nym Crinkle was the
article published in the Sunday World, some
months ago, "pitching into" the Rlchlngs
Opera Troupe. It was extremely cruel but also
extremely funny. Mr. Wheeler is a more sen'
suous writer than Mr. Winter. His imagination
It far from being as spiritual and pure. He
scarcely seems to care what word he uses to
express his meaning. . He is too often a flaming
torch; Mr. Winter is usually an Argand burner.
Mr. Augustln Daly used to be the dramatic
critic of the Timet, and when he withdrew no
less than one hundred and thirteen applications
made for the position. Of these about
twelve applicants had the slightest qualification
About that time the death ef Mr. nenry J. Ray
nond occurred, and certain circumstances were
removed that, had that gentlemen lived, would
influenced the appointment 01 a successor
to Mr. Dalv. After a short vacancy Mr. Sedley
w&a .nnnlnted. and still continues in that
position, assisted by Mr. F. A. Schwab. Mr. Bed
lev is a careful and conscientious writer, loves
kls profession, aud practises it most industrl
oualv. HU couvlctlons are strong and sincere,
aud he expresses them elmi-l and sometimes
severely, ne does not adorn his opinions with
labored poetic Imagery, nor strain to make his
Writings merely the medium for reflecting his
own accomplishments as a writer, since Mr.
Fecbtcr's appearance.) this country he has been
one of his most devout champions, warmly bat
tling the assaults of the Tribune. He is not an
extremely young man... If he were he could not
write so dispassionately and with such acumen
as he docs.
Perhaps I shall be laughed at for mentioning
the theatrical criticisms of the Heraltl, for
every one Is aware now notoriously aeticient
that newspaper Is in the commodity. Having
achieved the triumph of winning back again
the silly theatrical managers who a few seasons
ago boastingly asserted that they did "not ad
vertise in the New York Herald" It maintains
its old h bit of indiscriminately puffing except
where it happens to have a personal spite. The
dramatic columns are presumably in charge
of a gentleman named, but .the notices are
written by half-a-dozen different people. The
Herald is so afraid of a dramatic critic's making
use of his position for venal purposes, that it
obstinately refuses to engage any one man to
take supreme charge of that department.
Hence it distributes its force amongst half-
a-dozen "critics," who very seldom
evince the culture and analytical
power essential to the position. Thus It was one
of the Herald's critics who, refer lug recently to
Mrs. Waller in the play of Fazio, mentioned
that the drama was a new adaptation from the
French, and bade fair to become a success. This
was akin to a criticism on Carlotta Tattl in the
New York Sunday Mercury, wherein that lady's
voice was made elaborate mention of as a
mezzo-soprano. Neither of these papers could
afford to lose a critic of such knowledge and
discernment. One good thing, however, obtains
about the present management of the dramatic
atiairs in toe ncraiano critic is able to pro
mise positively that any particular notice of
any particular performance shall take place at
any particular time, for no one knows from
day to day what he is going to attend to. This
precludes all opportunity for venality, which is
the great bugbear of the Herald's proprietor. '
It is curious sometimes to watch the manoeu
vres between the theatres and the newspapers
in New York. One of the principal theatres in
the city maintains a most accomplished hanger-
on, with the express understanding that he shall
foster pleasant relations between it and the
press, ibis gentleman is well educated, a good
writer, a facile conversationalist, is well tra
velled, has seen the world, and has the exterior
and manners of a gentleman. There is not a
managing editor in the city who is not acces
sible to him, and whom he flatters himself he
cannot contrive to talk over to his view of a
footlight subject. With this fact before one's
eyes, there is
no
use in asserting as some
blatant managers
uo mat iney aon t care a
newspapers say. Theatres
straw what the
always do care,
and they always must;
for, although no
newspaper may have
fill a theatre which
the power to
power
presents a poor performance, or to prevent the
public from attending a place of amusement
which gives a good one, yet it has the power of
entering the sanctuary of a thousand homes and
ef propagating among cultivated minds opinions
to which great weight is attached; and it is the
ambition of respectable managers not only to
draw paying audiences but to secure favorable
critiques which shall win them the esteem of
even that class that contribute but little to the
support of a theatre.
It is a mistake to Imagine that, in proportion
to the number of journals and journalists, more
tlckeU are distributed to the press of New York
than to that of Philadelphia. There are about
fifty-five dailies and weeklies in New York.
Upon the first night of a new play or of a new
appearance two seats are sent to the dramatic
editor of every paper in which the theatre in
question advertises. These are all the tickets
that are sent. Neither the cashier, nor the
managing editor, nor any one of the other edi
tors is recognized. Everything in the ticket
line goes to the dramatic critic, and if any other
editor wishes to attend a place of amusement he
applies to the dramatic editor to furnish him
with the means. Of course, where there is both
a dramatic and a musical editor upon the same
paper, the tickets are so addressed that each
editor receives those of bis department, and I
mention this fact because the rule is observed
in New York with much more scrupulousness
than in any other city of the Union.
some ot the Jew iorx tneaires contribute a
good deal to the comfort and convenience of the
dramatic editors, and furnish rooms and writing
materials, where criticisms may be written be
tween the acts. At JJootns ineatre there is a
handsome saloon opening out of the lobby upon
the second floor, It is a light and pleasant
apartment, furnished with plain elegance, and
here Air. Booth and some of the principal dra-
matic editors of the city may occasionally be
teen of an evening. The relations between
Booth's Theatre and most of the newspapers in
New York are especially plensant. The entire
management of that vast establishment is cha
racterized by a liberality and delicacy which are
very rare, and which find their ks-ynote in the
good and pure instincts of Mr. Booth himself.
I have only mentioned four newspapers, but
they are the four which contribute most to
wards the formation of public opinion. The
Stancard is devoting a good deal of
attention to dramatic and musical matters.
lne bun seldom has anything resembling a
criticism. The Express and the Post criticisms
are written by hard-worked gentlemen who have
a myriad of other duties to attend to, and who
consequently do not always express themselves
as lucidly as they might. None of the other
daily papers amount to anything, and the week
lies do not come within the scope of the present
article.
