A defense of the American stage argues against a claimed decline, noting improvements in theatre buildings and acting, wider national reach, and enduring talent like Clarke, Wallack, Jefferson, and Kean. It cites the enduring spirit of English and American comedy and challenges critics who mourn former star-packed stock companies. It asserts lasting value and progress in modern drama.
