Dramatic Mirror. Founded in 1879 as the
New York Mirror but soon changed to the
New York Dramatic Mirror, the theatrical trade paper was popularly known by its shorter name. Under the editorship of Harrison Grey
Fiske, it was for many years the leading American theatrical trade journal, offering not only a wealth of important professional information but gossipy items for non‐professionals as well. Fiske often turned the paper into a crusading sheet, as in his successful attempt to establish the
Actors' Fund and in his far less successful effort to fight the
Theatrical Syndicate, or Trust's monopolistic practices. Fiske retired in 1911, and under less imaginative editors the paper's popularity declined. By the time it suspended publication in 1922,
Variety had long since supplanted it.
