IL Is not uncommon TO suppose that In the long
centuries between the disappearance of classical
drama in the days of the Roman Circus and the
sudden Towering of dramatic literature and the
atrical presentation in the age of Elizabeth, the
dramatic instinct lay dormant. To be convinced.
though, that play, mimicry and the staging Of
life are irrepressble tendencies, the reader needs
but glance through Professor Gayley's volume.
The few 'moralties." such "Everyman,"
known TO the theatregoing public Of to-day ap-
pear, in the light of scrupulOus literary history,
as the mere hotsam and jetsam from long lost
arGosies; their small number and the difficulty
modern men find in approaching them do not
prove in the least either the paucity the
puerility of medieval plays A wealth of rec
ords is at hand to prove the vitality and abun-
dance of dramatic material produced by the
men who lived under the domination of feudal
lords and priests during the centuries between

THE VERLAINE or FACT.
From The London Times.

From The London Times.
The Verlaine of fact and the Verlaine of pop
ular fancy are not differences OF kind but only
Of degree. Verlaine had the courage, and even
the vanity, of his vices, and when he was
thoroughly drunk and had young and rever-
entail audience, apt TO confess more sins
than he had ever had the opportunity OF COM
mitting. He at such times the "fanfaron'
of vice just Victor Hugo was always the
"fanfaron" of virtue. But he did not lie or
invent. He only exaggerated, raising the frall
fictional superstrcuture upon Il solid foundation
of fact with the result that the points which
his biographer makes on his behalf hardly seem
worth making. No doubt as NJ Lepelletier suS-
gests there was in his a bourgeois under
Meath the BOhemian-there generally Is. But
the Bohemian layer always thick, and got
thicker as life advanced. No doubt again, there
were times in Verane's life when he not only
repcnted Of his pOtations but suspended them,
but il cannot be said that the essential Verlaine
was the Verane Of the sober interludes.
The net impression remains unpleasant-far
more so than the net impression left by the
biogra piers Of, say Alfred de Musset, a man
of genius who equally a victim of the green
demon of absinthe. For Musset retained the
instincts of a gentleman even when he was
drunk and Verane never acquired such in
stincts even when he sober. Whatever we
may think OF his genius his weaknesses were
repulsive and the manifestations of his dipso-
mania deteStable.

Those who know the all too prevalent hostility
between the clergy and the stage world to-day
viii reap a certain grim satisfaction from Pro
fessor Gayley's clear presentment of the
ner in which the medieval drama was born OF
the Catholic liturgy and fostered by priests and
pious laymen as the best instrument for propa-
eating and intensfying religious faith among
the masses His account Of this matter is, of
course, original only in its arrangement of the
historical facts and in the clear simplicity with
which il traces the connection between stage
and chancel. OF much greater value 10 the stu
dent Of dramatic literature is the historians
often amusing description of the inevitable by
products of religious plays in simple but thor
oughly human communities We refer to the
chapters treating of the development of humor
Gus spectaces, burlesques satires and wonder
pieces In these early manifestations of the de-
sire to be amused and only amused, not edited
forever the reader may find the living link
which binds the liturgicaI and moralizing drama
of the Middle Ages with the later lofty secular
comedies Professor Gayley does not empha-
size clearly the fact that the transition from the
old order to the new was brought about by the
taste which was catered to and developed by all
the dramatic revolts against solemnity, from the
early Feast of the ASS" down to the fifteenth
century "interludes." Nevertheless, as he re-
cords at every stage of the history the steady
invasion of the humorous and the satirical. to-
gether with their natural accompaniment Of
story telling and plastic manipulation Of ma
terial, nobody well mistake his opinion on
this score.

Applying this same observation to the trend
toward comedy. how easily might professor
GavIev have carried his readers over from the
pre-classicaI crudties TO the polished products
of MarIove and Shakespeare! Perhaps he felt
that this task lay beyond the scope OF his book
But only a few words would have been needed
10 tell how, more and more, dranatists were
COMPELLED TO write for their audiences. how
these audiences were constantly growing more
worldly wise, how they clamored for stones
about human beings and the world In which
they themselves lived and how writers and
players, by becoming true professionals, per
fected the dramatic art with surprising speed.
But II Professor Gayley has cut off his field of
inquiry trifle too sharply at the latter end, he
atones largely for this by the fulness and clar-
ity with which he has described the content and
career of hundreds OF long forgotten plays, the
men who wrote and played them and the throngs
that were their witnesses. Scholarly without
being dull the present volume should prove
