Zangwill's dream, translated by David Quixano. is
one thing; life il IS actually lived in this land
is quite another thing. Mr.. Zangwill may plead
the license of poetic, prophetic, anticipation.
In that case 1t shall be granted to him. Some
creatures sitting at the play would not other
wise think of these things. Even now some can
be seen in the crowd interested in the story, weep
ing with the actors, and chewing gum. So be it.
Mr.. Zangwill, with all his faults, has made
play that worth writing and is worth seeing.
The actors do their share. It is very large
share And the result is that the audiences are
more than entertained-they are started on a line
