Augustin Daly has given one phrase
to American literature that whatever
may be its defect as a logical statement,
has taken inch deep root in current
English that it is dnnbtfnl whether it
can possibly be eradicated, and probably
never will be dislodged. Tbe phrase is,
"Of contemporaneous human interest."
Mr. Duly employed it originally in de
scribing one of his adaptations of the
playbill The literary critics scored the
phrase unmercifully at the time and
tried to ridicule it out of existence, but
it soema that despite the irresistible
conclusion .that no play could possibly
possess any interest for tree* or cattle as
distinguished from "bnman" creatures
Mr. Daly had filled a long felt want
with it, for it is now met with increas
ing frequency. Doubtless every one who
usee it does so under mental process
charging tbe responsibility on Daly, but
it is one of those winged phrases that
drops in like an old time friend whose
clothes are not above criticism.—Wash
