t .e ( Af Mr. Cyril Mande in addressing the Theater Managers' association at their banquet a few days ago, at the liilt more hotel, New York, had some very pertinent things to say concerning the effecting of a combination between the theatrical manallgers' associationl o England of which he is the president, and the assoclation of oulr (country, which might tend to further a litter interchange of successful plays.. Ami.ng other things \Mr. Maiude said: "Why could not our association c(ni-, bine in a discussion as to tile p.*sstlih ties of increasing the output of pos sible plays? Can nothing he done to encourage the authors atnd pult imore people in the way of being ;blue It write producible plays? tif to'"e ; ,, dramatic author will he the first to say nothing can be done. TDn't let ius believe him. No one can help feoil ing sure that time is a great fut ire ahead of. the American dramatist inlh on this continent and in England .Al1 ready the American madte pla s his gained tremendously in favor in t'Eng land. I should like to see ta better s - tem of agency for Atiteritan itatIs in England, and I cannot help thinking that if an agent woulld engage an cir tain numnber of actors. good rIeadel's., to read plays, to managers in Lonldtnl more business would he done, and done more quickly than It is at lprsent. The pushing of American goFolt in tll' English market has alwaxs oplpe:ri aI to me to be done int a sil\i'nvilly anil desultory fashion. "I wouil also like toii tlk this p portunity to express nly id',le' ,cnto' ii gratitude to the press of thii s is llll for its great kindnt"ss ito me hrt sinto my arrival saome two olr thriee months ago.
