las difficult to write something new
about this famous drama of the Recon-

thing new about "Trip Van Winkle' Or
The Rivals" For more than two
years past the press Of the entire
country has published more about
this play than has probably ever
been written before about any other
drama. The play does its own adver-
Using. The appeal of "The Clans
man" is SO great. that nothing can
stop its full tide of success. Even
those who do not agree with its senti-
ments are compelled to acknowledge
its tremendous power. The Louisville
Courier Journal had neat little COM
ment on the attitude Of some papers
that are not published in the South.
Some of the Northern papers have
seen fit to say caustic and scurrilous
things about The Clansman. May 1t
not be true that Mr.. Dixon's play gets
