Ouida has contributed an article to the series being printed in the Pail bIall Gazette on the subject of why noyelists do not write plays. She says that tho French style allows a wider latitude in situations. A French audience appreci ates an intellectual character and esprit of the play which an English audience finds unintelligible and tiresome.
 Ouida adds that if Racine and Moliere were alive they would write plays for Mounet Sully and the Coquelns. Were Shakespeare and Sheridan alive they would certainly write poems and novels. An audience capable of accepting Mary Anderson as a tragic actress is incapable of knowing good from had. English audiences are uncultured. With few exceptions Eng fish actors and actresses act i'll. They never merge themselves into the char acter they represent. These, according to Ouida. are the reasons that have kept writers of eminence of the English stage since the days of Lytton.
