THE SEASON IN ENGLAND.

“It is my firm belief that the coming theatrical season will be one of the most prosperous ever known.’’ Thus Mr Charles Frohman in conversation with a. representative of the “Daily Telegraph.” Nor is this merely an instance of the wish being the father to the thought. “I ground my opinion,” continued Mr Frohman, “not alone upon past experience, but upon the many indications I see around me. As it happens, I spent the week-end in Paris, and even my short visit served to show that the. influx of visitors to London from the Frencn capital this year will certainly be far in excess of the average. New York, also, is preparing to send over a contingent of sightseers quite out of proportion to its usual custom. And looking at the situation as a whole, I feel that managerial prospects are of an unusually rosy character. After the storm comes a calm — after lull increased activity—and if the theatres have suffered somewhat in the immediate past, they are going, if I possess

anything of the gift of prophecy, to enjoy ample compensation in the immediate future.”
