Modern Drama and Literature.


Yesterday afternoon DR.. Maurice Francis
Egan delivered his second lecture on the
Modern Drama end Literature" at the
Catholic University. An unusually bril-
liant audience was present, and, not
wtthstanding the difficulty Of reaching the
university. the assembly hall was crowded.
DR.. Egan said that there was no reason
for the existence Of the ''closet drama" of
Tennysop. Aubrey De We're, Swinburne and
Henry Taylor; it was written for a condi-
ton Of affairs that had ceased to exist.
He agreed with Professor Brander Mat
thews, that the acting drama should not
be judged by literary rules. 1t is as much
an art of itself sculpture, painting or
music; the writer of it must have a knowl-
edge of the psychological causes of muscu-
lar action, since Its symbols are not wholly
speeches, but expression. DR.. Egan's trib-
ute to Mr.. Augustin DAILY was loudly ap-
plauded. The audience was unusually large
and contained many notable Washington
ians. including Colonel and Mrs. Stanhope,
Miss Drexel, Mrs. Carter. Mr.. and Mrs.
Marcus Benjamin, the Argentine minister,
Senator Roach, a large delegation Of ac-
tors and a number of members of the Cos
mos Club and Carroll Institute, attracted,
perhaps by the novelty Of a university
professor considering seriously and with
sympathy the good qualities Of the modern
drama,
