the development of any drama. It is only when the school goes on blindly without seeing a change in the popular taste that the occasional man I have spoken of comes on. When the work of the school is legitimately in line with the public taste, the merely eccentric dramatist is like _Lord Dundreary's_ bird with a single feather that goes in a corner and flocks all by itself. He may be a strong enough man to attract attention to his individuality, and his plays may be really great in themselves, but his work has little influence on the development of the art. In fact, there is no development of the art except in the line of popular taste. The specially great men mentioned have simply discovered the changes in the popular taste, and to a certain extent perhaps guided it.[A] [Footnote A: Originally published in "The Sunday Magazine" (New York) for October 7, 1906.] =BOSTON MUSEUM= 1841 FORTY-EIGHTH REGULAR SEASON MR.
