George AIDE on His Stage Ambitions.

George AIDE, the author of five pieces
running simultaneously, is the man OF
the hour in theatrical circles, having
eclipsed even Clyde Fitch in the
rapidity Of his rise as a playwright.
Mr.. AIDE takes his success modestly
and disclaims any desire to pose as a
dramatist of serious intent.
IF I have any single ambition in
reference to the stage" said Mr.. AIDE,
1T is to depict every day American
life in such a manner as to amuse the
public and not offend good taste. If,
incidentally, / can touch upon some
of the weaknesses and foibles Of the
present moment without Slandering
my own countrymen, o. holding our
home people up to ridicule, the plays
will have q value which never can at
tach to an entertainment that is mere
ly farcical.
II do not WISH" he continued, "to
be serious or didactic. It seems to me
that any writer who can amuse the
American public without resorting to
the use Of questionable topics or ply
steal %buffoonery has done something
Of which he need not be ashamed, even
if he sheds no great light on any ma
tional probiem.'-Theatre Magazine.
