Walter Prichard Eaton. the dramatic

deliberately staged. In The Question
Of Scenery" in the American Maya

AFTER all. it was not the Elizabeth
ans who were stupid because they
could enjoy the drama on a bare stage.
1t is we who are stupid because we
cannot enjoy the drama unless the
stage is Uttered with realistic seen
cry. We have no faith In our own i'm
aginative powers. 1t would be good
thing for the drama If all scenery
were abolished for the next ten years.
Having learned to get along without
it, we would perhaps keep it in its
proper place for awhile after 1t re.
turned. Its proper place is as a pic

but a background"
