Bart V. Mcguire stage manager of
"The Climax" is as humble in spirit
as are most harassed and perplexed
successful stage managers. but he has
one source of unconcealed pride in his
present visit to Los Angeles; He re-
ceived his stage training in California,
and it has stood him in good stead in
the crucial test OF New York city pro-
ducing. Stage Manager McAuliff OF

HARD TO STAGE DAYLIGHT

tuny in the Theatre Zietung. "and
still its accomplishment has always
baffled stage managers. Our daylight
does not come from one point but from
all directions and this light, as from
the sky, is what has not yet been pro-
duced. The difficulties however, have

of love and the succeeding shock of
the blow accomplish. In this view
of it, Dr Doyle would argue. the out
come is the justification OF the mans
faith, which is precisely what he. as a
personal believer intended to do.
As to the awful charge Of writing
melodrama. Sir Arthur is silent. l i'm
agfne he admits it, i'm all its enormity.
Whatever be said of jhe ethics of his
play, it is unlikely that the creator of
the most human and enhancing per
sonality in present day detective liter
ature codld keep the flamboylntly re-
mantle note out of his most serious
drama, if he tried. As one who has
followed every visible move Of Sher-
lock Holmes from Baker street to
Switzerland and back again with una
bated interest, | fancy The Fires
Of Fate" is nothing less than big
theistic melodrama--like job, for in

suicide and murder of besieged Euro
peans is followed by the rout of their
Boxer foes, and rescue sortie which
finds only a heap of dead bodies, where
living beings had been but a moment
before Here is the converse OF The
Fires of Fate" and it is probable
that the playwright consciously built
his latest play on the basic idea Of
this story-one Of the strongest and
most awe inspiring things that ever
came from his pen.
The reaction toward simplicity in
dramatic construction. observed in
more marked in THE Climax the
latest New York success to visit us,
In the Kennedy play we had seven
characters, one a minor one, though an
integral part of the story; an un-
changing scene, and a unity of time
which outdid the French classic school
by exactly reproducing the duration
of the action in real life. IN Edward
Lockes little comedy drama there is
cast of four, all of equal pertinence
to the plot; single scene, and time
shift from autumn to spring. The lat
ter break with the unities is not so
absolute as it seems. 1t is rather
symbolcal than chronological. Autumn
is the season of rOut and disintegra-
ton: spring the time of loves victor

older physically between acts II and
III. although there is visible soul de-
yelopment in Adelina and the physi-
clan. And the unity Of action is Sc
0uentiallv sustained The struggle be-
tween love and art is an entity, as
the denouement is their mutual
triumph.
All this happens through the dramat-
ic manipulation Of but four visible
characters. Why rot? How many
plays, apart from Shakespeare's can
