Bronson Howards Plays, with Original Casts . -- AFTER the funeral of Bronson Howard, at Avon, New Jersey, on August 5, 1908, the board of directors of the American Dramatists Club resolved to hold a public memorial service at a later date in honor of him who had been the founder of the club and its president for fifteen years. The following committee was appointed to arrange the details George Ade Charles Barnard David Belasco George H. Broadhurst Joseph I. C. Clarke Charles T. Dazey William C. De Mille A. J. Dittenhoefer Robert Edeson Julian Edwards Harrison Grey Fiske Stephen Fiske Daniel Frohman Franklin Fyles William Gillette Clay M. Greene Joseph R. Grismer Victor Herbert Rupert Hughes E. E.

Purdy Sydney Rosenfeld Edwin Milton Royle Theodore Burt Sayre Harry B. Smith John Philip Sousa Stanislaus Stange Clinton Stewart Mark E. Swan Augustus Thomas B. B. Vallentine John Ernest Warren - - PREFATORY - - Upon the announcement of this resolve, offers of halls and theatres in which to hold the service came from many sides, one with very tender solicitude from Mr. David Belasco, who offered the Stuyvesant Theatre, at the laying of whose cornerstone Mr. Howard had presided in the previous year-one of the last of his appearances in public. It was, however, finally decided by those who had best at heart the carrying out of things as Mr. Howard himself might have wished them, to accept the offer of the Lyceum Theatre made by Mr. Daniel Frohman, who had been for so many years the dramatists close friend and the companion of many happy summers. The date was then fixed for Sunday, October 18, by which time the artistic world of New York would once more have assembled. On that evening an audience representing not only the dramatic and theatrical circles in which Mr. Howard had so long been a leader, but the sister arts and the learned professions as well, crowded the auditorium in witness of their affectionate admiration of the man and the first American dramatist of his time. Mrs. Howard was also present, a touched listener to the tributes to her beloved husbands memory. David Bispham never sang with greater feeling the beautiful numbers assigned to him, aided by a male choir and orchestra. In the succeeding pages will be found the addresses delivered at the memorial meeting an appreciation of Bronson Howards dramatic work by Brander Matthews, reprinted through the courtesy of the North American Review an address on the Drama delivered by Bronson Howard at Harvard University, and one before the Lambs Club Bliss Carmans poem a brief biography a list of Mr. Howards plays with their original casts and some account of Mr. Howards dramatic library and the endowment fund for its support and extension bequeathed to the American Dramatists Club.
