 Notwithstanding the fact that most dictionaries define the word clearly, it is quite certain that any dozen per sons would give as many interpreta- tions to the phrase. realism in dra- matic art" To the average aemirer of I.ottie Blair Parker and Jerome Eddy realism means cows. The dev- otee of Ibsen will tell you that real ism means immortality. There are as many different expositions of the sub iect as there gre various kinds of plays. The Century Dictionary declares that realism is the representation of what is real in fact" and surely this makes ''Shore Acres without live stock as realistic as Way Down East" with its bovine accessories "The Music Master" with it's wholesome character types, as realistic as "Hedda Cab ler." with its morbid digging into souls. My own definition of realism would be: Artifciality so blended with art as to seem reality.
 There is no intention of declaring that "'Way Down East' Is not real istic play because its production in- cludes cows any more than there is the intention of insisting that shore Acres" Is not a realistic play because it does not include cows. When the scene shown on the stage requires such animals there Is no question In my mind of the legitimacy of using them. Under these circumstances they give the verisimilitude of truth Any thing which does that makes for real Ism. Clyde Fitch's comedies are full of cows. Their bodies are stories which we recognize as dramatizations of ey- eryday life, their legs are incidents which appeal to us as honest duplica- tons of commonplace episodes. their horns are speeches such as come from the mouths of people we know. The author who makes his characters talk and act precisely as the men and wo- men about us do talk and act Is a real ist The motor car dialogue in Man and Superman" Is realistic. the return from the funeral in "The Climbers" Is realistic. and the entire story of Ala bama," full of trenchant truth and sim ole sincerity, will always stand as the

CLAIMING POLLOCK.

high point at which realism and ideal ism meet. lay claim myself to some sort of photography in the second act of The Little Gray Lady" where An na Gray retires for the night. The winding of the alarm clock, the con- cealing of the purse and watch under her pillow, the placing of that pillow itself in 6 white slip. all are superfi- cially realistic.
 It seems to me that there can be uo question as to public enjoyment of such material Now and then some poetic idyl like Peter Pan" may charm us for awhile, but generally our pref erence lies in that kind of dramatic matter which we recognize from its appearance Those things which we have seen ether people do, those emo tions which we ourselves have expert enced, strike us most forcibly in plays If a man says to you that his wife has fallen from . balloon you are curious, but unsympathetic, because you have never been up in balloon. If, on the other hand, he tells you that he is out of work and that his family is hungry. your heart aches for him. because you know what hunger means.
 The decline of romantic drama in this country may be traced directly to the lack of fellow feeling for the man whose sword and not his spirit is bro ken at the end of the third act.
 We are only at the beginning of real ism on the stage in America. We are being hampered and held back by the same kind of theatrical managers who told Tom Robertson that It was not right to conclude an act without a couplet and by the same kind of lay men who found indecency in Mar garet Fleming"
 The spirit which declares every inno- Yation dangerous is as detrimental to the achievement of the best in the the ater as in the narrowness which brands everything deep and vital as immoral. Despite these obstacles there can be no question that every year brings us near CT to the accomplishment of genuine realism.
 So long as we who love the play feel while we think, the most appreciated Kind c. drama will be that tiEd which most truthfully depicts everyday life, and the greatest dramatist will be the man who can inject into the dull and ordinary that which makes 1t interest lug and extraordinary.
