Hackett MOI a ReaIIst.

James K. Hackett, not being an ac-
tor of the realistic school, is violently
opposed to that manner of play. His
arguments against the ultra-modern
school is well put. if not well ground
ed
"The so-called realistic drama is
based on the fallacy that to get at the
bottom of human existence one must
get at its rottenness," he says. "The
dramatists who write these hideous
plays might as well plant rose bushes
bottom up, in order that the flowers
might be buried and the ugly roots
left in view. They ignore the beauti-
full and fragrant to emphasize the
meretricious and degrading. The
painter in search of subjects does not
go to the moTgue and the brothoi
