The statement simply means that plays

theatregoer can't stand more than Eve

TO prolong the life Of the theatregoer by
raising the level OF plays so that he would
not be driven away SO soon.
The drama must come out OF the people.
| That does not mean that playwrishts must
pander 20 the people. People can be led
upward as well as downward. We must
have some authority. some standard of
taste. This is especially necessary In a
democracy. Constantly we are getting to
the point when we demand that the people
who speak TO us shall really know some
thing; We want experts.

The Mirror is ready to challenge the
statement that the average playgoer wear

that great body of intelligent persons go
