There is no question about that. The

For the Critics.


Creston Clark, whose untimely
death at Asheville robbed America OF
a serious and capable actor, was
somewhat impatient OF criticism. To
a Philadelphia critic he once said:
You chaps are unwilling to accept
a man for what he is. You want to
change him to your W taste. But
each of you has a different taste. To
whose inclination, then, is he to
bend?
mo, no! Take the artist for what
he is. That is the right critical atti-
tude. Don't be like the farm urchin
