Mr.. Barrels curtain-raiser has been
produced in London theatre, VIC have
been told, with great success. Consid-
cring the hour and the place, and the
mood Of a nation, this is underestimate
BILE, but from this distance the plsylet
looks, nevertheless, IN print at least,
like an ambitious attempt that has
failed. The tragedy OF William II Of
Germany, if tragedy IT shall prove 20
be, demands more spacious treatment
than a curtsin-rsiser, and treatment AZ
higher elevation than the dramatist
gives il here. II should be condensed
tragedy. Once or twice, 1t is true, Mr..
Barrie rises to that height for brief
moment, but much Of his play reads
like restatement, in dialogue form, Of
the body OF evidence of the kaiser's
guilt which England has sent out 70
the world. And does not Mr. Barrie
take the one fatal step when he makes
the Emperor say, 81 would eat all the
elephants OF Hindustsn, and pick my
teeth with the spire OF Strassburg
Cathedral?
What the modern theatrical producer
can make Of the play by visualiZing the
Kaiser's dream what, perhaps, he has
made Of il on the London stage is an
other matter. But as dramatic litera-
turc the cataclysm Of 1914 calls, one
thinks, for another "Dynasts," not for
curtain-raiser. And the time for
the great tragedy is not yet.
"Liebelei" is word for which no
English equivalent can be found. Mr..
Shsnd wisely rejects the many transla-
tons that have been suggested Light
O. Love" "Love-Longing," "Philsnder-
ing" and. least felicitous of all, Fir
tation" but comes no nearer TO its
meaning in the title he has chosen,
Playing with Love" However, the
title does not matter: the plays the
thing. as essentially OF the Continent,
not Of Vienna alone, as its untrans-
latable name. packed with meaning for
those who know its life well. The
translation is meritorious, especially
when one takes into consideration
the difficulties offered by the
/ Viennese patois in which the original
/ is written difficulties as great as that

which the editors profess themselves
to have felt IN their labors as teach

by students. by publicists. and by the
general reading public which is inter

large part Of its contents may be

speaks: she hears the digging In the

keeping her memory green. Then her
little dog explains that il is he:
"Ah. yes, You dig upon my grave
Why flashed il not on me
That one true heart was left behind!
What feeling do we ever find
To equal among human kind

"Mistress, ! dug upon your grave
