fundamental condition of the art OF drama,
lust as the ocean is a fundamental condi-
ton of the art of shipbuilding- You may
construct the most wonderful vessel i'm
aGfnabIe, but your labor is wasted if it
declines TO float. This is a very trite and
obvious piece of wisdom. yet it is likely
to be forgotten by some of the aolest OF
our dramatic ship5uilders- Not the least
among the misfOrtunes OF the actor man
ager system is that playwrights Of orig
inality come TO cOnfOund the Legitimate
demands of the actor manager with the
legitimate claims of the intelligent public,
and to reject both together. The highly de-
veloped side show mechanism Of the mod
ern stage enables them to obtain some sort
of bearing for anything they choose to
write. and they thus become more and
more impatient of the reasonable limits
and inevitable conditions OF the drama.
They abound in their own sense, not to
the advantage, but to the detrimeEt. OF
their art. II would do them a world Of
good to nave a national theatre 10 write
for-and To have play or two declined by
It. They would, of course, he very angry,
and denOunce the stupidity of the manage
ment. but the experience would be none the
less salutary. As it is. the gap between
the intellectual playwright and the nor
mally intelligent public threatens to grow
wider instead q narrowing, and this is the
one really alarming feature in the situation.
