Record said of the play: Love and duty
III conflict are the animating principles
of the story of De Miles play, The War
rens Of Virginia. and, as it is a wartime
drama Of the period of the Rebellion, the
complications arise from the love of a
Northern soldier for the daughter of a
Southern general. Most plays relating to
the Civil War are similar in theme, and
1t Is therefore the Belasco treatment of the
dramatist's finished product that brings
new interest to the story and that secures
and holds the auditors attention. No de-
tail is too trivial for Belasco to perceive,
and none is neglected by him. 1t is in this
perfection of detail that Belasco is SUI
preme among the country's stage direc-
tors. and yet there is seldom a jarring
note in his carefully studied effects. Scenes
that would be badly melndramatic in less
skilled hands are transmitted by his genius
into verisimilitude, and the onlooker can
with difficulty discover the means EN-
ployed to bring about the illusion Of
reality"
Clyde Fitch is working on a new play
for Grace George, which will be presented
