as to be worth quoting.
again and again. he says. 1T mas
been pointed out thaa between the art OF
the writer of romances and the art of the
dramatist there lies gulf SO wide as
hardly to be bridged over. 1t is not that
the material at the disposal OF each varies
to an appreciate degree. Rather Is 1t
that the manner of handling necessarily
differs largely. About the work of the
true playwright there is directness. a
concentration. an intensity which his
brother craftsman is rarely. if ever, called
upon to cultivate. He thinks in situa-
tions: he keeps his eyes fixed unfailingly
upon the goal In front of him: he goes
straight to the desired point. BY ges-
ture, by look. in a flash of silence more
eloquent than speech he Is able to express
as much as the novelist will in a dozen
pages on an entire chapter. No better
advice was ever given to the tribe Of
adapters than that If they would reduce
a published story to dramatic form their
first step. after reading the book, should
be to throw 1t away altogether and use
only the central idea. Absolute loyalty
to the original author u.s. indeed, not in
frequently the least valuable asset that
a maker Of plays can possess in such in
stances.
