AN IMPOSSIBLE IDEAL

Oftener Than in Heaven.

the bald outlines of life to the gaze
it is still idealisic in conception.
In other words it Is too good to be
true.
It's fascinating fairy-tale.
But fairy tale which is SO cannily
written as to give the impress of real
ity.
1t is great play this THE Great Di-
vide
And full of good lines.
In it's presentation the other evening
here, though, its acting medium was
inadequate.
The girl in the case, while possess
ing certain undeniable physical attrac-
tons, was hardly convincing as an ex-
ponent of her supposed puritanical
forebears
Why she wore blond wig such
as" is affected by stage Marguerites is
mystery.
To be sure she was despoiled by a
sort of frontier Faust but still she
would have looked better with her own
hair.
Or at least some other color.
Her habit, too of standing with her
hands on her hips and of slapping her
knee with her hand, was hardly indi-
cative of a long line of occuItly re-
fined ancestors.
For it is the little things that tell
Every time.
And there is no reason why pop
ular price, play shouldn't be as care
full of the details as one for which
the public exchanges more golden
shekels.
The man of the drama, however,
measured up to the authors prototype
very well.
Especially in the last act
The truth is that in the latter the
man did an excellent bit of acting,
whose dramatic outlines were distinct,
and which was closely nodded to the
theatric form in which it was conceiv-
ed.
1t was, in short, convincing and ap-
pealing.
That the public will support a play
of this character-that is, realistic
depletion of life presented by master
is shown by the support given this
second presentation of this play in this
city and by inconspicuous theatrical
people.
1t is too bad, after all, that We can't
have more good plays.
And worse, that, when We get them,
We can't have them interpreted
through an adequate human medium
But this plays hold is due to it's
manner as much as to it's matter.
For you cannot discount the over
whelming value of literary art applied
to the drama when the former is mere
ly an ornamentation of a powerful
theme.
William Vaughan Moody was a SUI
perb literary artist. ..v: s~az
And, reduced to the last analysis,
this is the reason for this plays uni
versal appeal.
Search long enough and you invari-
ably find Art as the handspring of all
action.
AS Amiel says Of melancholy, Art is
at the bottom of all things.

This man and this woman, says the

For that most marriages are not
made in heaven but by propinquity is

The truth is that almost any woman
will do for almost any man. And the

But not always.
The truth is that the substance and
the medium are so interdependent that
it is hard to distinguish them and say
this is where one begins, this where
the other ends.

You cant take color out of paint

by the complexion of the audience on
Saturday evening.
For it was indicative of that element
of the town which reads and thinks.
A college professor or two were
present and other representatives of
the local educational institutions.
1t happened to have been the first

hard to the consciousness.
One could imagine what it would
