simple minded carver of crosses. 1t is
also unbelievable that a great lawyer
such as Steele, is shown to be in the
opening act, could waste his time talk
ing about flowers. building air castles
and whispering words of affection to u
simple minded country lass, whose in
tellect has been chained since she first
began to use it by religion. One gets
the impression that the regeneration of
Steele lacks something and that it is
rather weakening of the intellect than
anything else.
Despite the failure of the three final
acts, THE Right of Way is a success,
because it teaches men and women to
think new strange thoughts. 1t pre-
sents man who uses his mind and thus
leads them to use their own. 1.-THE
Right of Way may not be declared
such, but it is nevertheless a socialist1c
play. 1t is full of the doctrines of the
Sociahstic party. The play was well
worth seeing.
