WILL PLAY ON ORPHEUM CIRCUIT IEBUUAFtY, the shortest month of the twelve, brings to us two t of the most precious dates on the entire Calendar, the first that of the birthday of Abraham Lincoln. Next Saturday has been ' set aside by the Drama-department of the Salem Woman's club in commemoration -of the memory of the great American who has become a symbol ',.of the best that our country has produced, and who la essence was,-and still Is. America. It la particularly fitting and timely that John Drinkwater' Lin coln should furnish the motif of the eveut. The play as written by the English poet, is to be read by Miss Lulu Tlosamonde Walton. At first glance it would seem singular that it had remained for an emphatically English writer to produce the life of a man essentially American. It, was this universal r questioning that pruuupted the interview which.! appears in, the February Touchstone,. by Marguerite Wilkinson. - ... " Excerpts follow : "John Drink water was born at Lcytonstone, tear London, la 1882, and while he was still a little hoy, was sent to school in Oxford, where he remained until he was nearly sixteen .years of age. . . .After a number of years of business life he larmd thar he was more Interested in the drama than in business or any other kind of work. He gave up business and, after many struggles; succeeded In getting the start that he wanted. Then Barry Jackson, who, according to Mr. Drinkwater, is the best stage designer in England, built the Birmingham Repertory The?ter, of which be and Mr. Drinkwater are the cooperating managers. In that theatre In the past few years have been presented more than a hundred of the greatest -plays the world has ever known. 1 ' When asked, point blank how be came to write a play about Lincoln, -Mr. Drinkwater said "I am working in the theatre all the time and' always have three or our plays In mind. , ' The char acter of Lincoln crystallized a great deal of experience that I had in mind, waiting for dramatic expression." A' - It was pointed out to him that he had chosen for emphasis the Quality of Lincoln's which we thing characteristically English a poise and tolerance in weighing one thing against another and taking a Just and wise middle ground. )' "That la something that I think the best Englishmen and the best Americans have in common 4' Mr, Drinkwater answered. In presenting this phase of Lincoln's character, he has been selective. It was suggested that the whole Lincoln had not been shown his humor as an' instance. ', "Life is Tery large," said Mr. Drinkwater, "and to have art you ', must select something from life and give it attention by itself. .. . . 1 If you would make a play you cannot have even the whole of a ; biography. . . .In writing about Lincoln I chose to present the Jonely administrator who kept his poise under the greatest difficulties, who was the lord of his event. i . . . ."Critics have been very generous. Some of them have , criticised the pla? "because It Is written In the English idiom, not in ' the American. But I could not write sincerely and simply unless I wrote as I did. I do not know the American idiom. . . . On any theme a man can write his best only In the speech he knowns best. Asked what he thought of George Gray Barnard's Lincoln, he said: . "I thlnk that it is a very great work of aft; perhaps the greatest that "Amini?ondudthearticle, Miss Wilkinson says: "We can find our great man in this little blue book, though not fully rounded out as we knowMt through intimate tradition. He is bereft of his humor and his folk feeling. But he is still a great man reverently presented. His Idealism has been understood by a great dramatist wise enough to deal-with his character simply and sincerely." - .
