This Is novelized version of play
which was produced in this country a few
years ago with Ethel Barrymore in the
stellar role. The tale opens in the book
in England rather than in India, as in the
play. Mr.. Mason describes a preliminary
courtship between Thresk and Stella
Derrick, when Thresk was just begin

venture into matrimony lest he handicap
himself. Later. when he went to India, a
successful man, he found his former

labor disputes growing out of the use

separating the book into three parts. The
first of these scrutinizes the economic
features of the boycott and describes
the part it has played in this respect
through it's use by the labor organiza-

the various forms that this weapon as

THOUSAND YEARS AGO: A Ro-
nance Of the Orient. BY Percy

introduction by Clayton Hamilton.
New York: Doubleday. Page & Co
Washington: Woodward & Lothrop
This is another play published by Dou-
bleday. Page & Co. under the auspices of
the Drama League Of America for the
encouragement OF a study Of the drama.
In contrast to Mr.. Kenyon's "Kindling,'
"A Thousand Years Ago" is a piece of
pure romanticism. Taken together the
two plays exemplify the causes that un-
derlie the struggle waginG between ro-
manticism and realism in all art. Mr..
Mackayes play is staged in the east, to
which refuge romanucism may be said
to have retreated before the deluge of
realism that has overtaken the western
world. There, against a gorgeous ORR
entail background. is projected the story,
royal princess. ''Turandot." With an
equally royal consort This process is
attended by the beheading of unaccept-
able suitors and other barbaric ceremo-
nies The nucleus of Mr.. Mackaye's play
is derived from an old Persian tale, one
that served the Italian comedy of the
century before the last one. This author
however claims for "A Thousand Years
Ago an original development. 1t is
written in a beautifully poetic and mu-
sicaI form. The play is we'll worth read
ing and study. whether one considers 1t
as a pure spectacle involving romantic
story. or as an example of the evolution
of the drama. or as picturesque and
workmanly piece of play-making that
possesses peculiar and unusual graces of
speech.
