IL may be that Mr.. Pinero has i'm some
OF his earlier plays written I'm a more
brilliant and sprghtly style and dis
played a higher degree OF constructive
skill but never has he given us a bet
ter or more worthy example of pure
comedy than i'm Trelawney. His story
Is a simple one. 1t deals with plain
player folk. their trials. triumphs
ioibles and fads. He shows them as
they are. not as the world is wont to
view them. He pictures them as men
and women OF generous impulses whose
hearts have not been spoiled by sue
