wUe he will lind himself striving vainly
te read Inte the characlers things thet
the keen-eyed elueldater has discov
ered. The plays nil deal with the women
of a Middle Western town nnd are
supposed te sound n new clarion call
for recognition of their feelings nnd
aspirations, Mr. Leving says se. Te
the casual reader they read us the sort
of unactable sketch that Is turned out
by the icam at "ndvanced 1'ngllsh"
classes the country ever.
One deals with the desire of n meek
little drab wife uf u farmer for a light
ing pi. int. The fanner buys a tractor.
The wife gees insane. Mr. looting In
ternets this at length.
Anether called "Slilvaree" voices the
indignation of n young farmer's bride
at the prospect of simply being the
mother of his children his human
breed-mare, se described. She leuves
him en their wedding night. Mere ex ex
plnnatien by Mr. Leving,
Twe ethers, which are set in lied
Hud. but which for any appeal might
ns well hnve been in any city of these,
sovereign States, make n bit mere for
Interest, dramatic ns well as llterarv.
"Miss Myrtle Snys Yes" tells of the
budding romance of n little milliner
destined te become nn old maid by her
sister, who breeds ever the failure of
her one love affair. The younger rebels
and becomes encaged te the faithless
mlter of the elder. There Is a de
nouement that "avers of the "trick
ending" with n bit of fplce filch as in
hiiggested by the "modernistic nchoel."
"Miss Myrtle" nnd the fourth, which
Is the exploitation of n shallow movie
mad girl, are mere te the point. Uut
Mr. Leving doesn't sny se much about
them. Possibly he is saving the "in
terpretation" for n separnte volume.
Apparently Mr. O'Dea has tried te
de en a mere restricted scale and In
n different form, that of tlii ilmnm.

IRISH LIFE AND CHARACTER
IN LADY GREGORY'S PLAYS
Shaw, in writing of Lady Atigttstn
Gregery's plnys, s-nld: "They never
fall te de ene thing which we nil de
mand from u play, which is net, ns stu
pid people miv, te amuse ns (though
Lady Gregery's plays tire extremely
utuuslng), but te take us out of our
selves and out of the stuffy theatre
while we are listening te them."
This graceful and just tribute from
a man who rarely compliments nnd
never flutters except himself held
very true for the several pieces in "The
Image and Other Plays" (Putnam).
The volume includes "The linage,"
"llniirnhnn's Oath." "Shanwnlla" and
"The Wivns." The second nnd last
are in the one-net form In which Lady
Gregery excels and the ethers ure mere
extended dramatically In the three-act
form. "Shai'walla" recreates out of
the rich materlnl in Lady Grigery's
"Vision and Hellefs of the West, of
Ireland" a blery of the persistence of
life after deaih. "Hanrahnn's- Oath."
inspired by a performance of "The
Dumb Wife." puts a man in the same
sort of silence. "The Wrens" is wt in
the period between the Hlsing of '08 and

HISTORICAL PLAYS ,
Four Pieces Frem Various Lan
guages Adapted for Little
Theatres
Piny which arc interesting from his
torical or comparative standpoints but
certainly de net hulk large en their
individual merits arc contained In the
volume, "Little Theatre Classics,"
adapted and edited by Samuel Eliet,
Jr. (Little, Brown & Ce.).
The present volume Is the fourth of a
scries of such plays, and the contents
are just ns varied and removed irem
tbe beaten path ns the first three vol
umes. Fer example, "All Fer Leve, or
the World Well Lest," the Restoration
tragedy of Jehn Dryden Is included,
and, te most readers, will probably ap
peal ns the soundest nnd most worth
while of the four plays.
Less can be said of the Intrinsic
merits of "Shnkuntala," translated
from the Indian drama of Knlldnsn. At
times it isf full of a ghostly, unreal att
mesphcre which arrests the attention",
but the interminable length of th play
nnd the absence of nny semblance of
dramatic unities stand in Its disfavor,
except te these who nre studying It
as a novelty, and arc interested In com
paring it te similar creations in Gaelic,
Ners-e or Teuten literature. The pres
ent version is rather neatly nnd pain
lessly abridged.
"The Wandering Scholar Frem Para
dise." n fchrevc-tlde farce by Hans
Sachs, dating back te 1550, typical of
German medieval drama, is extremely
short, nnd derives its Interest almost
solely from its traditions. Again, much
can he said for the intelligent nnd
colorful translation.
The final play In the volume is "The
Martyrdom of All," adopted from the
Persian and "drawn from the Miracle
Piny of Hasan and Hussnln, as col
lected from oral tradition nnd trans
lated tinder the direction of Sir Lewis
Peily in the 18C0s." Again we hnve a
play whose, very nnclent origin Is bound
te make its study worth while te stu
dents of the drama, but again, also, the
play's worth, based en nny kind of
standard chosen for dramatic composi
tion, is small.
