The only question is whether it shall teach a lesson of uplift or a lesson of debasement Many people seek only light amusement and cry out against plays that tell unpleasant truths. Well medicine is usually unpleasant tp take, but very necessary. Plays like 'Ghosts,' 'The Second Mrs. Tanquerav ' 'Justice' and 'The Aftermath' are moral medicine." 'ueraj, J "SGco M. E.
