A drought seems to have fallen en the land of dramatle author ship. The vision and the glory have departed. Ths representation of. life In all its fullness and sweetness has given way to pictures of decay and death.

Then why do they eklstT ; i A part of the answer seems to be found in an imperfect understanding of the functions of the play. The play Is a sites of life. It seises a situation,-or a sequence of situations, and shows the law of cause and effect working its way through ' the circumstances 01 numan life. Whether, tragedy er comedyr all depends on the seed causa The con struction of a play; therefore, calls for an Intimate acquaintance with Ufa, and the operation of natural laws. It takes a great mind to take a slice of common life, say ths chronicle of a village day or a I village ramuy, - ana snow now through th modest lines of uneventful life the same great laws era found. It takes, Indeed, a very great mind to do that, and it Is Just such minds that we lack.: a: ., : .f'': V'V.'S-''' V-'r ''''' V''.V One result of this lack IS that our playwrlrhts seek ths unusual, tne start. ling either tn vulgarity, sin or action, and so furnish forth their meager genius with the trumpets and thunder of sen sation; -i -.jT ..j,-.
