from time to time and, over a late mip-J
per. ticeicie by vote what we hUouio
like and what we should adrertNc by
our disapproval. Professor George P.
Baker, of Harvard, did something quite
(llfTrrrnt from all this, it Is now a
goodly number of years ago. He Part
ed his "-17 Workshop" In a quiet nnd
Industrious endeavor to foster our
drama, ko far an such a thing ns drama

guidance, and he has long since Juntl

sevoiM playwrights wltov work 1m alike
u ciedlt t'i dramatic craftsntuii'dilp and
n practical and acceptoJ succc upon
(ho (agc. Viidcr these circumstances
PruteMor Baker is peculiarly the man
to collet, for the general reader, a
group of American plays which shall
fland as representative of our drama In
Its procnl state of development. This
be has dene In a volume with the title
of "Mooern American Plays," prefixing
to the text an all too brief introduction
on the plays selected and tho reasons
for their selection.
SUCCESS on the stage is Professor
Baker's first crlterlou of selection,
and his second In variety. The opening
piny of the volume is "As a Man
Thinks." by Augustus Thomas, a com
edy of contemporary life, which touches
on prevalent feminism, lightly but sure
ly, with not quite tho glib solution which
Is on the lip of the current feminist.
In its es.cuce this play is didactic, "a
tendenz-drama," however deftly con
cealed In the skillful workmanship of
one long tried and approved. The
Adaptable Mr. Belasco's "Return of
l'j.tAi fir!mM Itlrnivlun tnnnhec nn ft fnuli
lot the hour. Interest in that beyond and
Ihneaftcr from tho bourne of which we
i ore not quite certain whether the trav
1 eler can really return. But Mr. Bclasco
i cleverly leaves the matter less proved
than suggested. Mr. Anspachcr's "The
: I'nchastcncd Woman" la notable in that
1 1' contrives to Interest us In an un
i intcrextlnc aud miHvmDathetlc heroine
' and to leave us nt the end with thlngt
continuing and unadjusted very much as
they carry on in life. Sir. rlhcwou a
"Romance," by far, one should think,
I tho ablest play of tho volume, contains
the element of its existence in its title
' and realizes at lcat one character of
' a holding personality. And Mr. Mas
,hoy's "I'lots and Playwrights" is satire
of plays in a play, a time-honored spe
cies, old wheu Dryden was ridiculed In
I "The Rehearsal" and older still by tht
time that Sheridan plagiarized that sa
tire in his "Critic."
! TDLAYMAK1NO in tho English lan-
l -L guage has been variously presided
over In different times. To avoid rising
I out of our topic Into tne region of the ill-
i vlnlties, uryucn, greatest oi ungusn sa
' tirlsts. ablest of general poets of his
I time. theorNt and translator, was once
I the foremost playwright. At a subse-
I quent time that post was occupied by
Nicholas Howe, poet laureate, who 'fol
lowed Shakespeaio," but a long way off;
at still another by equally forgotten
Sheridan Knowlcs, whose most veritable
dramatic asset was his borrowed sur
name. Later times bring us triumvi
rates and oligarchs in the annals of
tho drama and we become bewildered
among the Barries and the Shuws, the
Pineios and the Joneses of times which
arc now, or were not very long ago.
In America we may be a little lesn
distraught, howsoever there are precious
few of us who have not written, nre
writing or planning to write at the
vtry li-ast a farce or a pageant. But it
would seem that it Ih not long since
that our master playwright was the late
Cljde Fitch, and who shall deny that

Knille fwbv of Mr. Bclasco? Now. of
i such an art we must at least confess
ihnt it has had Its ups and downs, and
that the amplitude of its vibrations, to
put it In anothur way, has made varloun
n'ise.s In the world whereof some have
been high and others not so high. Nor
1 we expect it to be otherwise. The
drama is, by the most honored of all
figures, the mirror of human nature,

cover up a part of It or refuse to accept
as veritable the Images whlcli it rcuects.
All tho movies In Christendom, and In
Heathendom besides, cannot kill the es
sential drama In us. The musical com
edies have made a good try at it as did
the old heroic play in its time and
melodrama and opera since But the
essential drams will abide when all
these "sporU" and offshoots are remem
bered ouly by the historian.
TN READING Prof. Baker's rep-
resentatlves of tho accepted American
drama of today, two or three things
occur to the let us hope nonc-too-biased
reader. Let us be frank about It ;
all of theae plays read more or less
baldly, at least as compared with much
other former drama, also accepted for
tho stage, both English and foreign.
Prof. Baker is right when he says that
"drama Is a collaborative nrt," one In
which the author, the actor (and all
who help his Impersonation) and be
sides, the spectator as well, co-oporate
to a cumulative result. But I rather
suspect that these modern plays of ours
depend somewhat more on this co
operation, somewhat more on the nctor
and on the setting than did many of
tne piays wnich have gone ueioro, xney
are at tho mercy of their presentation
because thev are wanting In distinction
of manner and of ntylc; because their
dialogue Is so clono a. replica of our
dally speech; because their personages
arc so obvioualy llko everybody or any
body whom you or I are likely to meet.
And now wo arouso our "realist
friends, those who object to blank verse
because they do not employ It habitually
In discussions with Margery, those who
resent soliloquy and the aside like Mr.
Shaw because they do not happen In
what thev call "real Ufa" nnd the like.
But, my dear "realist." the stage Is not
the world and, even If Hiinkespoare diu
say it, not all of the world's a stage.
NEITHER distinction of manner nor
distinction in the subtle thing which
we call stylo Is wanting In actual life,
cTen In actual American life. But to
catch it or anything else for that
matter for the stage, you must trans
late It nut of the language of life that
Is the manner In which It Is presented
to our senses In life Into the language
of the stage. And you ennnot make the
lauguage of tho drama more realistic by
forgetting Its essential basis in art.
These plays, excellent as they aro and
fully deserving of their success, seem
to one who knows somewhat of a wider
dramatic literature Hat in perspective,
wanting In color, unlndivlduallzed In
a measure as to their personages nnd
unldiomntic, theatrically speaking, not
withstanding their undoubted mnstery
of that tf'chnlquc of tho stage of which
Prof. Baker has hnpplly made so much
In his "workshop.
IT IS not altogether vision that wo
lack, or poetry even. But wo seem in
these latter days to be a little afraid
of seeing things or nt least of putting
down what we see: while poetry
stampedes us with terror Into an effort
to get as far away from it as possible.
Are we getting to be afraid of our emo
Hnns In nrt uh of n disnlnv of our feel
ings In religion? Shall wo orrlvo
shnrtlr at a noint in which the gentle
man 'will not only discuss either
politics or religion, but will recognize
that any show of emotion for art or
anything else Is taboo Wit, numor,
spntiment. romance arc as common lu
every-day life as they were when the
old dramatists used them. There Is
scarcely a sparkle In the dialogue of
any of these Ave representative plays
anil Prof. Baker surprises us when he
tells ub of the success of the only bit
nf nathos In them all and that Ironi
cal which occurs In the extravaganza.
"Plays and Playwrights. " With all
our chatter about the freedom of the
arts, our stage seems conventionalized
all but to the point of stagnation. What
n one! is the stock husband whose "past
is accented aa an essential part of nny
husband and played off against the
wife a present or attempted future
And how delicately the neat distinctions
of n double code of morals are drawn !
And the heroines I air. Jlassny Is right.
there Is more real drama In the rooms
of u New lork lodging house than In
all the theatres of tho Great White
Yav. Why not get some of the noctry.
the color, the aroma of actual llfn onto
the stage by an honest translation of
all tuesc things into dramatic terms in
place of all this pussyfooting repetition
of mere actualities.'

HISTORY OF A. E, F.
BY A PHILADELPHIAN
Capt. Shipley Thomas Writes
Admirably Compact but Com
prehensive Narrative
V
It has remained for a Phlladclplilan
to wrlto the first compact, all -round
account of the operations, achievements
and victory of American arms In
France. There have been inauy divi
sional epics, but Captain Shipley Thom
as- "Tne History of tne a. u. dv- n
the first attempt to applv the historical
method to tho entire subject. It Is an
Important job, well done. Not only did
Captain Thomas have first-hand per
sonal acquaintance with many phases
of the work of the American expedition
ary force, both in combat and staff
capacities, but ho has nlso, combined
an observant intclHjtence and n trained
oapoclty in a lirst-rato method of han
dling his materials. These were
voluminous and scattered, and to take
what was salient out of the mass of
records and statistics was In Itself a
formidable tack. Captain Thomas has
mastered It with an excellent selective
faculty for what is intrinsically Im
portant and organically related to the
evolution, progress and ultimate
triumph of the A. H. F. His book
might very well bo likened to an ath
lete trained to the pink of perfected
physical form, with every muscle nnd
vital organ alertly functioning, and
without an ounce of fat to retard speed,
strength and skill. There does not seem
a word of superfluity or a fact of
supererogation in this "History of the
A. E. F." It Is a masterly accomplish
ment, the difficulties of which will be
especially appreciated by those who have
had to compllo something unitary nn
essential out of a mass of material.
It Is just such a book as the publli
has been waiting for. nnd it goes with
out sayiug that It will have A particulat
appeal to the ex-service man. In spite
of the enormous amount of materlnl
compressed within Its fiOO-odd pages It
Is written In nn attractive style; Indeed.
readableueBg is one of tho prime quali
ties. And though it Is compact it Is lu
every hense of the word comprehensive:
none of the factors of the whole have
been omitted or neglected. It has a
sense of proportion and perspective; it
has historical accuracy and It has hu
man interest. Of especial note Ik the
fact that th book is really authoritative
without being in the strict sense of the
word "official." Captain Thomas'
manuscript has been read nnd passed
by several commanding officers of the
operations described, nnd tlioy unite lu
praising it. Much of the material con
cerning special units or arms of tho
service has been obtained or checked off
by the historical officers of the branches
concerned. In addition to tho annuls
of the A. R. F.'s several drives the book
contains complete divirdonal histories,
account!) of tho various auxiliary serv
ices such as the S. O. S., etc., aud u
very valuable "Visitors' Guide to the

good maps.
Captain Thomas was born in this

A truly great and permanent contribution to American literature:
absorbing, inspiring, true. Nothing stranger ever came out of the
Arabian Nights than the story of this poor Scotch boy who came to
America, and step by step, through many trials and triumphs, became
the great steel master, built up a colossal industry, amassed an enor

whole of it for the .enlightenment and betterment of mankind.
