witnessing a play of this type, that the
drama has not an uplifting- influence
on our lives? If there are thoae who
can -live Jn the fresh, homely atmos

and not carry away a higher, a more
ennobled , feeling; of life, they dcaerve
our pity. They are beyotd redemption.
There are some playa In which n
common-feeling seems to unify audi
ence and actor. The play at the Bunga
low la one of these. You do not Jilt, a
detached personality, watching the por
trayal tf characters. You lose the
identity of auditor. You become a par
ticipant in the scenes that are being en
acted before your eyes your heart-
throbbing in sympathy with the hero
ine, and beating in angry protest against
the vllllan. : And, then, there 'la the
scent of the new-mown hay; the pan
orama of waving fields of grain; the
wild woods' and the leaves.
