hgator who has gone back to antiquity
ito prove that the best work OF the
dIamatist is done late in life. Soph
ocles was ninety.four when he wrote
'0edipus at Colonius,' fifty-three when
he wrote 'Antigone' and in the sixties
when his other plays were written.
Aeschylus was siXty-seven when he
wrote the 'Orestcs' trilogy and Euri-
pides forty-one before any Of his plays
Won a prize. He was nearly fifty when
he completed Nedea.' The exception
to this class group is found In Aristo-
planes, who began his career at the
age OF seventeen and wrote successful!
comedies at the age of twenty.one and
twenty-five. although his best work
came when lie was in the thirtes.
William Shakespeare. who died at
the age of fifty.two had its greatest
successes during the last ten years OF
his life. Racine was nearly sixty when
'Athalie' was produced and the most
successful OF MoIiere's comedies be-
long to the lat9r,years of his life.
so We might almost assert that sue.
cessful youth in the play-writing field
is another typl; ally American element,
And in, the American theater circum-
stances were never more propitlous
forth young native playwright than
now"
