If theatrical managers can bar out critics that do not please them, pretty soon they will be refusing admission to all critics that will not give a bond to write a favorable report of the show. Since the public depends to a certain extent upon the critics for its knowledge of the performance, and often waits to hear what they have to before patronizing attractions, this is something that the people have an interest in. It is to be hoped that the Metcalfe case will be carried to a higher court, and that this court will develop common sense enough to give a reasonable decision on the case.—Duluth Herald. Curtailing Freedom of the Press There was no allegation that Metcalfe miscon- ducted himself and the sole objection to him was that he wrote and published criticisms that were not acceptable to the managers composing what is known as the “Syndicate.” If the decision of the Appellate Division is to be regarded as final, mana- gers may debar all critics whose writings are dis- pleasing. It is to be hoped the case will be carried to the Court of Appeals, which may take a different view. If the law is as this decision represents it there will be reason to demand that it be modified in the interest of the freedom of the press, which should not be curtailed in this direction.—Troy Not in That Half The decision of the New York Supreme Cozr: that the Theatrical Trust has a perfect right to exclude James S. Metcalfe, the dramatic critic of Lire, free its theaters is, of course, another blow at the pendence and dignity of dramatic criticism, but tke lowering of the critical estate below its present kre is not thereby so marked as Mr. Metcalfe woe! have us believe. For one thing at least, half th critics in New York have long submitted to th! advance arrangement of their opinions by the bss ness offices of their publications, standing com to the pussy foot policy of wriggling between pope lar contempt and trust disapproval.— (Vater American.
