cesses; they were not willing to risk the untried American.
Besides, with the end of the stock company fashion, travelling companies began to increase in favour, and this meant the growth of a system of booking which put into the hands of a few the power of dictating what amusements the theatregoing Americans, outside of large theatrical centres, could have.
The managers throttled the theatres by 1896, when the Theatrical Trust was formed, and though actors rebelled—men like Mansfield, Francis Wilson, Herne, and Joseph Jefferson; though such actresses as Mrs. Fiske and Mme. Bernhardt suffered from their enmity by being debarred from places where the Trust owned the only available theatres—still, the actors finally succumbed one by one, the playwrights listened to their commercial dictators, managers of minor theatres became their henchmen.
In such an atmosphere, while in time we got good plays, it was impossible for a serious body of American dramaturgic art to develop.
