It Is the duly of the Uininn, first, to he cilcnn nnd wholesome, then truly to entertnlii, to crento nn powerful ft clmrin an It cntt out of tlio tingle nnd cotiilt; element of renl life, mixed not too strongly with lite blenl sympathies, Hie liletil liolli'fs, ami Impes nnd poetry of men. Let It not skip either tlio fnct or the poetry, for men arc mtulo up ot both; nnd, an It hopes to live, let It nnt bo so inirtnly renl ns to produce the thing Itself rntlier thnn the nrllHtlc nnd Ideal suggest Inn, nml so nttnlu merely a cheap shock rather tlinn nn abiding pleasure. Of all the rensnns for the Inability of men to write plays this ten dency Is perhaps the commonest and most effective: nnd tvo commend till truth to all dramatists niio desire to practice their nit on matters essen tially unclean. Two or three times In n century, per haps, n genius like that which pnnlm ed "CamlHe," fcr Instance, can talte the corruption for Its subject nnd mako It Interesting; but lu hands less glfteil only the corruption appears, nnd noth ing; more. The same Is title of tho dra matic use made of the vice of so-called aristocratic society under Its pollto ve neer, or of nny of the dark corners of human life, high or low. There Is ugli ness nnd pollution lu these dark corners undoubtedly, and It Is equally certnln) thnt tho fiehl of the playwright Is un bounded litnmtn nature; but bo pushc bis talent to the furthest stretch of non tense and repulslveness when he urgcr tho renllty of bis fevered nnd obscene dreams, or pretends that tho foul thing bo finds crawling In the pit are typical of the fragrant meadow above or of tho broad ami sunlit surface of the world. As a matter of fact, of course, the uier who write theso plays do not pretend In prlvato to nny such specious motive. They think If a thing; Is misty there Is more money In It, and they grin nnd tell you thnt nil their talk about their art and the dark pessimism of life Is part of tho hypocrisy of their trade.
