Type: 
newspaper
Genre: 
theater criticism
Abstract: 

Quelqu'un begins by discussing his job of writing the Dramatic Feuilleton for The Saturday Press and his lack of skill; he also discusses the problems this will cause with the start of opera season. Quelqu'un gives updates on all the injured performers he has discussed in his most recent columns. He also claims that there is "nothing going on in the Dramatic World worth talking about, and won't be until next week," when Patti and the opera open (3). Quelqu'un mentions some of the theatrical topics he could discuss and also gives his reasons for not engaging in the discussion. The Feuilleton is followed by a P.S. that reprints an editorial article about Kate Bateman from the Chicago Press and Tribune.
