The Survey: John Werner came to
America from Germany and from Aug
ust, 1907. until December. 1908, he
worked in an Ohio match factory. In
Germany, as in all civilized countries
except the United States, the govern
ment does not permit the use OF pois-
onous phosphorus in the manufacture
OF matches.
But John Werner after working one
year and four months in an American
match factory contracted ''phossy jaw Z
His teeth dropped out; his jaw bones
decayed. In spite of two surgical
operations in April, 1909, he is con-
demned to a miserable existence on

Johns wife took in washing until

the help of relatives in tn ountry,
she and their one little girl returned
to Germany. John Werner, helpless
and alone, then sued the match cor

of this match factory town, bearing the

STAGE "REALIsM." !"

e. L. Baughan, London News: At
the same time, / do not think our
slavish worship of the natural in
drama is limiting its scope. A real
istic play which aims at giving a true
picture of some type of life known to
us all relies, of course, on it's dialogue
being realistic, but realistic drama is
only one form of drama.
The stage can do much more than
merely reflect the outside of life. 1t
can, and does, portray all the inner
feelings and secret thoughts which are
hidden in real life. 1t can do this
through gesture, with the assistance
of very few words. Indeed, the words
uttered may bear no relation to the
hidden thoughts and feelings, which
are then expressed entirely by the ac-
tors art. That is one method-the
method of suggestion by gesture and
facial expression. An experienced
dramatist always makes use of this
method; the amateur seldom does, with
the result that his characters speak
too much and our imagination is not
kindled. There is great art in the
proper and skillful appeal to the
imagination of an audience, and 1t
cannot be too often insisted upon that
a play does not vitally exist until 1t
is acted by living players before a
living audience.
The suggestive methods Of dialogue
is, of course. no more realistic than
the rhetorical method. The two are
extremes and the utterance Of life
itself In speech lies between them, The
realistic dramatist tries to initiate this
mean OF speech. but am not sure that
drama should be natural. The stage
is a convention In Itself, with Its
fourth wall opened for our gaze The
duration of time is another conven-
tion. Actions never take quite al
long or are accomplished quite al
quickly as on the stage. Nor dc
lifes tragedies or comedies end SC
neatly. Because the stage outwardly
mirrors life we imagine 1t Is a realis'
tic picture OF it, or should be.
