al theater was discursive and incon-
elusive. Members paraded their per-
sonal prejudices about cur more re-
condite dramatists, from Browning
and Tennyson to Mr.. Galsworthy ana
Mr.. ZanSwill, and ransacked the con-

Lament is not the most congenial at
mosphere for discussing the drama, or
indeed any other of the arts. Facts

than the elusive creatures and the

But it will be said that the question
of state aid for national theater is
an eminently practical question. So,
to be sure, 1t is, and one of absorbing
interest to architects. They are all
hoping that the office of works will
not get the building of it, and we
share their hope 1t would never do

adviser, all complete. But it was
soon closed, and remains closed. for
the simple reason that no national
American drama has been forthcom-
ins to put it. Here. however. it is
necessary to distinguish. The move
ment which led to Wednesday nights
dc bate is, as most people know, the
combination of two others. Shakes
peare memorial movement and a ma
ticnal theater movement. The first
pert of this combined scheme we can
VI derstand; indeed. we have consis-
tently advocated it. Whatever may
be thought or hoped or feared about
our future drama, there is no question
about Shakespeare; he exists, he is
fact. 1t is our duty to get him worth
lily housed.
But after all, as Moliere said. the
ancients are the ancients, but we are
the people of to-day. Our crying
need is contemporary drama, and we
that those who like some of the
speakers on Wednesday, expect to get
it by building a national theater are
on the wrong track. There is pro-
verb of Sansho Panza's quoting, The
house is finished and death enters" 1t
is of no use building "a mausoleum or
a museum of stillborn curiosities. Not
that our contemporary drama is dead,
indeed, it is giving some hopeful signs
of life. But theaters. bricks and NOR
tar have nothing to do with it. Com
mittees, subcommittee, public meet
ings, honorary secretaries fancy balls
cannot help it. Art as we have.
pointed out. is an individual thing. 1t
ha opens: no man knows why or
wherefore. Philosophers have pre-
tended to know. The late NJ. Bruno
there gravely put forward theory
that an outburst of national drama
invariably follows national feat of
arms: Shakespeare after the Armada:
the French romantic drama after the
Napoleonic wars, and so forth. Our
only comment is that we do not be-
lieve a word of it. 1t is all talk. and
it is in the fitness of things that Mr..
Maekinder's motion on Wednesday
night was talked out" The spirit
of the drama is no more controllable
by Parliament or any kind of coliec-
tive action than the wind of heaven.
