## Summary

Plays of former times were written to be read, not seen. Dramatic authors succeeded in their aim; their works were placed in libraries, and the theatres were deserted.--Now, plays are written to be seen, not read--and present authors gain their views; for they and the managers are enriched, and the theatres crowded.
