the writer of stage fiction tries hard to have his characters look and behave exactly as he wishes them to. His de- sign may be carried out. That depends.

The manner of the acting, also, must be obedient to his or ders He also may be able to dictate the time when the play shall be pre- scented and the theater. too.
