desire for accuracy and exactness.
He was always haphazard and al
most happy-go-lucky in his use OF
facts, taking liberties with both his
tory and natural history 49, Liberties
which 10 genuine scholar Bacon,
for example, or Ben Jonson, would
ever have dreamed Of daring to take.
Secondly, Shakespeare is not an
original thinker any more than
Sophocles or Moliere were original
thinkers. Sophocles and Moliere
are the only other dramstists who
demand to be ranked with Shake
speare. and no one Of the three ever
contributed 70 the advancement OF
knowledge or 70 the progress OF
philosophic speculation. That was
not their function, for original
thinking is not a necessary part OF
the equipment Of the dramatic poet,
and even Ibsen has no claim TO be
considered as having made any
contribution 10 the development Of
thought. The drama is the most
democratic Of the arts, and the
dramatist must always appeal TO the
people as whole. and therefore he
must not in his thinking be too far
in advance OF the multitude. 1t IS
a dramatist's duty to set on the
stage a story in action so cohtrived
as to hold the interest Of the spec
tators by showing character
immeshed in situation. This story
he can lift to ideal heights; he can
make it POLITICALLY vital, and in his
dialogue he can phrase anew with
unforgettable felicity the old, eter-
nal commonplace Of life and death
and duty. The dramatist, like the
statesman, is sufficiently a thinker
if he can keep abreast OF the best
thought OF his own day and if he
can utilize at will the best thought
Of other days. There is no more
overt originality in ITO be or not
20 be" or in "A long farewell TO
all my greatness" than there is in
the Gettysburg address or in the
Bunker Hill orations.
Thirdly, Shakespeare is not al
impeccablc artist and all his plays
are not faultless masterpieces. It
is probably safe to say that no one
Of the indisputably preemineni
poets ever was a faultiess artist. do
ing his best always and never leav-
ing off work until he had made the
result as perfect as possible. Vergil
and Racine, Pope and Tennysor
may be meticulous in bestowing the
final polish upon every phrase anl
upon every word, but Shakespeare
and Moliere are too ample and toe
afAuent to be constantly careful
about all the little details of rhetoric
New-York tribune., 1916-04-22

from THE Trojan Women" to Che
koff's Cherry Orchard" has been
made available to US in book form.
OF the publishing of books about
the drama there seems to be an end
for the present. Meanwhile plays
are being printed whose value in no
way justihes the dignity thus be-
slowed upon them.
The photo-play is developing
literature OF its own. The latest OF
these books will be listed with the
drama here. Hugo Muensterbergs
is the most important of them; Va
chcl Lindsay's The Art OF the Nov
ing Picture" the most enthusiastic.
BELLES-LETTRES, POETRY.
Poetry fourishes. How much of
the popular awakening is idle Curl
osity. desire for novelty, and how
much a genuine interest that will
prove lasting, remains still to be
seen. Certain it is that this is the
propitious hour for the coming great
poets to step forward. In bellies
lettres our interest centres increas-
ingly in living contemporaries rather
than In dead masters. No author
OF to-day but has his interpreter and
laudator. During the last year
George Bernard Shaw has been the
chosen subject for studies OF this
kind oftener, one believes. than any
other author. The climax is reached
in a clever Frenchman's far from
unmotivated comparison OF him with
Moliere. A first critical study Of
Henry James, of English origin, is
among the seasons announcements.
1t is not altogether new. A subtler,
internationally better equipped hand
is needed to do justice 10 Jamess

A revival of interest in foreign
literatures-the literatures OF the
Allies, that is-has reached us via
England Whether it will yield as

fore the inmates of an asylum for

Shakespeare is a great dramatist,
secondly and suprerely, because he
has the gift of giving effective ex-
istence 70 his creatures, because his
characters start to life before our
eyes. because they people our
memories, because when we have
once seen them in action we cannot
forget them, because they remain
with US forever, known to us in all
the hidden recesses Of their souls
as we do not and can not know even
the men and women with whom we
are most familiar.
Shakespeare = great dramatist,
thirdly and nalIy, because he is
great poet and great psychologist.
He can lift US to the loftiest and
most ethereal heights Of poetry. de-
lighting us with passages of perfect
beauty and filing Us with Joy at the
daring felicity Of his verbal magic.
He can compress the wisdom Of the
ages into pregnant phrases which
abide with US as unfailing guides 70
conduct. He can make US think for
ourselves as he flashes before us
his vision OF humanity and as he
forces US to reflect on the eternal
and unchanging problems Of human
life. the same now as they were
centuries ago in the days Of So
phocles and in the days OF Moliere.
New-York tribune., 1916-04-22

None the less il must be recorded
that it is only in half OF his plays,
more or less, that he discloses his
triple endowment, as a playmaker,
as a creator OF character and as
poet and psychologist. The earlier
plays are more or less empty and
experimental, as might be expect
ed; and the later plays are more
or less casual in plotting and aroi-
trary in character. The critic who
does not see clearly and confess
frankly that Measure for Meas

The book of foreign travel con-
tinues to be lacking, OF course. Its
place, and that of many another
branch OF literature, is taken by the
war book in its increasing multi
tudes. To list them all would serve
no purpose, since many Of them are
OF only ephemeral interest and OF no
perceptible value to the permanent
library of the upheaval whence the
student OF to-day and the historian
OF tomorrow will draw their visuali-

are, the campaign Of propaganda is
carried on with undiminished vigor.
More than one American publishing
house is willing to present both sides
of the case with admirable impair
tiality. A few, indeed, confine them
selves 70 what is the other side in
the opinion OF most OF us.
SHIFTING INTERESTS.
Elsewhere changing balances may
be seen which are not traceable to
the war. With the first season of
the Russian ballet in this country
approaching its end, only one work
on modern dancing is found among
the springs new books. Our de-
mand for literature OF this subject
was so fully supplied few years
ago, when Pavlowa first came TO US.
that very little remains TO be said
now. The Russian dancers appear
ance marked the climax of growing
interest in a revival that was also an
innovation and secession; it
brought us a mass OF books, from
Loie Fuller and Isadora Duncan to
the Hunt Dance, "Scheherazade" and
the "Valse Caprice which Is as
timely to-day as it was then Nothing
has since been added to the history
and the art OF the dance which i'm
pairs the accuracy of these books
or calls for later comment.
As with the dance, so with the
drama. During the last FIVE years
the subject has been wrung dry.
Nothing remains to be said of tech
nique, content, tendency and pur-
pose, OF social and didatic service,
of stagecraft. From Scribe to Ibsen,
from the younger Dumas TO Pinero,
from Sudermann to Galsworthy. Bar

OF this 300th anniversary OF "4s u0
From a hasty reading Of the more
dlthvramblc Of these rhaPsodies
snv one unfamiliar with Shake

Iieye he was a profound scholar, an

plays. all equally great and no one
Of them marred by a single weak
ness or defect To produce this
false impression is to do Shake

the most dextrous Of the play

uneoualled power of creating char

mitigable in their veracity. But he
is not a profound scholar, or an

HIS LIMITATIONS.
First Of all. Shakespeare is NOT
a profound scholar. How could he
be with his scant schooling? He

he may have been familiar with
French, but he preferred TO use
English translatons, and he rarely,

New-York tribune., 1916-04-22

The time OF two sharply distinct
publishing seasons, one in spring,
the other in the fall Of the year, is
passing. Our publishers are recog-
nizing ever more clearly the wisdom
OF spreading the issue OF their books
more evenly through at least the
active months. resting on their Ia
bors only in midsummer. One
publishing house, indeed, has for
several years chosen 70 make an I'M
uortant new venture at the begin
ming Of the dead season, on the first
of August. II follows, therefore,
that in the classified lists OF publish
ers' spring announcements, begun
elsewhere in this issue. there are in
cluded. on the one hand, books pub
lished in late February, and, on the
other. volumes whose date of issue
is as far distant as the beginning OF
summer-among them new novel
by Alice Brown.
LOOK AROUND.
The spring lists are always lighter
than those Of autumn, which still
remains the publishing season par
excellence. Certain departments OF
literature lose their timelincss at the
aDproach Of summer-books on mu-
sic. for instance. Other branches OF
reading take their place, TO be sure.
outdoor sports and Nature books
chief among them; but even so, the
balance OF numbers and seriousness
Of content remains with the fall OF
the year. This spring other causes
are at work to keep down the num-
bcrs OF the new books, the increas-
ing scarcity and cost of paper being
the most important. 1t is felt even
more in England than with us. 1t
must be urgent in Germany. and
no doubt French publishers will tell
the same story. The explanation is
simple: Chemistry has discovered
the way Of using wood pulp as a
substitute for guncotton, and am
munition is in more urgent demand
than books. II is another instance
OF the perversion of the arts OF peace
70 the service Of war.
Proportions, too, are changed in
the spring announcements, as they
have been since the outbreak OF the
war. American affairs. foreign and
domestic, have assumed an urgency
unknown for more than a genera
tion; the list Of new books dealing
with these questions is undoubtedly
the most important Of them all. Our
foreign policy since the foundation
of the Republic, the Interpretation
OF the Monroe Doctrine and its
many notifications. army and navy

paredness. Europe and Asia, Mexico
and the Caribbean. immigration

fronting us here and now, demand
