-All tha playa that have at soma time

MO pages dsvotsd to shewing ths differ

visers,, tha author concludes as foUows:
"In no way could the superiority, of
hla dramatic methods, almoat unfailingly
exhibit that fidelity to nature or truaneaa
to Ufa which, constitutes genuine art
be mora clearly manifested than by hav
ing them thua thrown Into comparison
