(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT).
London, Monday. [...] The action of the managers of those theatres where Oscar Wilde's plays are being performed in blotting out the author's name while retaining the play is severely criticised in many of the papers. There is a general feeling that it is an offensive piece of moral humbug. The omission of the author's name from the play bills is the weakest kind of compromise. It would be an act of high principle to withdraw the piece, but to retain the benefit of the dramatist's work and to suppress his name is, as Mr Sydney Grundy says, simply dishonest.
