A reflective essay criticizes the hurry to applaud in the theater and writing. It argues that public praise is often misapplied, that judges and actors may be swayed by mere spectacle, and that merit should outlast sensational acclaim. It cites Garrick and an opera at the School for Fathers to illustrate the point.
