DRAMATIC NEWS
AND COMMENT

In summing up the result Of the the
atrical year just concluded, Theo-
dore A. Liebler Of the Leb1er com
pany says that the value of the
season has been not so much in the new
plays presented, though these included
an unusually large number of eXcep-
tional merit, as in the educational
work done among Dlaygoers by foreign
organizations which brought over with
them the very latest European ideas
on stagecraft.
"The Irish players said Mr. Lieb-
Ter. "and Prof. Reinhard s company
showed us little that had not been
known to native producers for many
years. The most effective impression
istic methods in staging have been in
use here for long time, though few
people have been aware Of it. Wit
ness the original productions Of Sa-
morrow I do not hesitate 10 state
that the production of 'The Garden of
Allah marks the most successful sppli-
cation Of impresslonistic methods ever
presented on any stage.
"ThG value. of these methods is dem
onstrated here in the fact that it was
the realism of the scenes in this play
that was most applauded. But the for
eign companies that have visited MS,
uElDElng WIN butHl ucllT
onstrations Of how fine effects are pro
duced. will doubtlcssly do great ser
vice in that the genius and imagination
of our own stage directors Will be less
likely to lack appreciation in the fu-
ture.

Vile field. Jules Delmar. for many
