Founded as theNew York Mirrorin 1879, the trade paper of the theatrical profession added the wordDramaticin its official name in 1884, but was popularly known asThe Dramatic Mirror.

Fiske ended his association with the journal in 1911 and its fortunes declined asVarietygained ascendancy, and in 1922, theDramatic Mirrorceased publication.
