"THE TRAITOR"


IS to the advisability Of a play
ike The Traitor" which appeared
here Thursday night, there is room
for a difference Of opinion The
. theme Of the play-reconstructior
days-touches a sensitive spot in the
lives Of many now living in the
South, who passed through those
fearful days. Happily this period
Of trlbulation has been put far into
the past. and time has softened the
memories Of those dark days.
Perhaps not a half dozen Of those
who saw the play Thursday night
have any personal memory OF the
carpet baggers" and Of the drastic
yet effective measures employed by
the men of the South to bring order
out Of chaos, and to make the lives
Of their wives and children safe No
more effective way could have been
devised than the organization Of the
Ku Klux Khan.
While The Traitor" is freer from
objection than its predecessor "The
Clansman. It yet tends to fan the
embers Of racial ill-feeling. In the
average play the villain gets the his
ses Of the gallery gods who have ac-
cumulated all OF their prejudices in
the space Of a short hour How much
greater is the effect when back Of
the offending actors is a half cen
tnrv Of bitterness and internecine
strife which the actors themselves
only realize in a vague sort Of way,
Were the plot but a Pigment from the
imagination Of some fertile brain, it
would be diversion Of an evening.
bus it is more than that

force dwell in the same country viii

Then such a dramatlzation as eThe
Traitor viii be shorn Of its power
10 stir up strife twenty-five years
ago its appearance in the South
would have meant trouble. Whether
we have gotten far enough away from
that condition to view a rehearsal Of
the South's wrongs-and their right
tng-without feeling at least re-
sentiment against the race which wit
tingIy or unwittingly brought such
an awful harvest is an open question
While The Traitor" was true to
Ilfe-even 10 the negro jury trying
a white man-and the basis of the
play Is matter Of history to crowd
the stirring events Of years into one
or Two acts is a kind OF concentrated
dose which produces more marked
effects than a recital Of the same
story in detail on the printed page.
But a discussion Of the desirability
Of sach a play IS purely an academic
one. The playwrights and the thea
tricaI syndicates judge a play solely
By the standard. Does it pay?" As
long as that question is answered in
The affirmative, such plays as The
Traitor" will be with Us.
