GING THE SECRET.
Does Dramatic Criticism Err on the
side OF FrnnkneSs:

To rHE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: II
would appear hat the modern order of
dramatic review. dealing with such "A
play as Cheating Cheaters.'' works an
injustice to author and to audience alike.
Dlvulging the plot Of this genre OF play
completely debates the play.
One Of the cardinal rules for the
guidance OF playwrights. that the audi
ence must not be deceived, 10 set boldly
aside In this and kindred plays OF the
last two seasons. The deception OF the
audience is the very life of the thing.
How then shall this he achieved
when the whole "snap'' Is given away
BY the critic?
The style OF dramatic review that
details the plot Is suitable to plays
where crises Of acting transcend crises
OF action. not to plays where the reverse
obtains, SIMON y. REASON.
