Excerpt from Dramatic Criticism, Vol. 3: 1900-1901

Often crippled and ruined by the philistine limitations imposed by our grandmotherly censorship. The outlook, very dark twenty years since, is not to-day perhaps quite so hopeless, though still, as we know to our cost, the average play produced is far, very far from the high level of excellence which we have a right to expect in the drama of the country of Shakespeare. Having once stood supreme in the world of the theatre, is it too much to hope that England may one day regain that lost supre macy? Whatever the chances, let us at least, as lovers of the stage, remember that we have a high standard to live up to, and do all that lies in our power to remove the artificial and commercial stumbling blocks from the paths of would-be sincere dramatists.
These reprinted notices are my contribution to the good work.
