On the other hand, we do not think that such plays should be selected by fond parents for their children's amusement, when their minds are still impressionable, and their judgment improperly seasoned. It is time enough to let young men and women into the secrets of life's wickedness when time and experience have led the way. And any young woman (we won't speak of the young man) who in her simplicity of heart and mind, sees such plays as The Profligate or The Second Mrs. Tanqueray will have a mo...st excellent opinion of the THE DRAMA 109 world if she does not discover therein a great deal of wickedness. When she finds that such baseness does exist, why, she must be a model young lady if she does not open her eyes very wide, and look round upon everybody with the utmost astonishment and bewilderment.
