Fitch and Howard Weave Individual Characters on Stage
John Corbin argues Clyde Fitch elevates American drama with his focus on genuine character over stage types in The Girl with the Green Eyes, while Bronson Howard’s works rely on conventional villains. He contrasts Fitch’s realism with Jones and the middle-class focus in The Middleman, noting American theatre’s drift toward aristocratic themes and urging broader public access to industrial and daily life on stage.

Resurrection and vulgar plays debate in New York letters
Buffalo, Dec. 1902. In a vigorous critique letters page, Platt and White contest charges against Tolstoi’s Resurrection and defend Maeterlinck, Bourget, and Bataille. They dispute motives of critics, praise the theatre ventures of L’Oeuvre, and note the drama’s artistic depth versus popular appeal.
