Dryden Versus Eaton on
the Function of Criticism
A, Rejoinder by the Authoress of "The Fear
Market" Thoughts on the Laying
and Hatching of Dramatic Eggs
By AMELIE RIVES
Rrincess Troubetskoy)

T HOPE that Mr.. Eaton will not think
i that 1 mean to be disagreeable If
add few words to our debate. He says
very nicely and gallantly in his reply to
my article In the EVENING LRbGER of
April that he has no wish tqtenter into
a controversy with woman whose wit
and charm he bows to-" /, on my part
courtesy in return, for l liked him very
much on tho two occasions that we met.
1t is not his personality as man that
l am discussing but his idea of the func-
tion of criticism.
Mr. Eaton says that my article "only
deepens his conviction that neither play
wrights nor actors should read dramatic
criticism; that "such criticisms are not
written to tell playwrights how to correct
their faults, nor actors how to act. They
are written to inform the public Of the
impression the completed play in the thea
tire made on the critic, and so will be
likely to make on other spectators OF
similar tastes"
Now this, If accepted, would mean that
dramatic criticism has no higher function
than to act as theatre guide TO the play
going public, but my idea OF dramatic
criticism, as we'll as of criticism in gen.
eral, Is loftier than this.
The constructive critic is the best friend
of the creative worker.
JOHn lIguellt himself "a cIlllC OF tiill-
nence, has said that "A severe critic is the
greatest help TO good wit" but he also
said: II must take leave TO tell them that
they wholly mistake the nature of crfti-
cism who think it's business is principally
to find fault. Criticism as IL was first in
stituted by Aristotle was meant as a
standard of judging well; the chiefest part
Of which is TO observe those eXcellences
which should please a reasonable being"
Now l am less eXacting than Dryden,
for Il seems to me that If criticism were
only impartial one could not complain.
But be that as It may, where the persons
criticised, whether actors or playwrights,
are told that they should not read such
criticisms. then the work OF the critic has
failed Of It's highest end which is, accord
ing 10 the accepted definition, TO point out
the "excellenees and faults" OF piece Of
work with the object of helping the artist
10 Increase his "excellences" II possible,
and diminish his faults.
AS to Mr.. Eatons statement that he
cannot write a play, neither can he lay
an egg" but that this incapacity does not
prevent him from expressing an opinion
of his breakfast" l viii venture to point
out that he is more yitally connected with
an egg than with play, because, though
he cannot lay an egg he could hatch an
egg If he were patient enough, and the
plots Of plays are hatched rather than
laid Also. he could roast an egg, and the
uroverb says There IS reason In roast
Ing eggs" Ny contention Is that there

merry or wise or wistful or tender thought
that occurs, playing gently with il, then
dropping ii and passing-lightly, gaily,
Puckishly on. And that is the virtue, the
enchantment of a dream. when Barrie is
the dreamer.
But you reflect that the dream privilege
is rich convenience for the author. He
can heap his inventions up without the
trouble of building them together He can
even think Of an act and put his sketch
away in drawer and take II out on a
favorable day and just add another act.
Was "A Kiss for Cinderella" thrown
off in this way, piecemeal? Sometimes
you suspect It, There are odd solutions
OF continuity, eXcrescences, loose ends. In
another man you might have felt disposed
TO criticise this But not with Barrie, for
that would be only cheating your pleasure.
Enjoy his fancies as they come, "the mo-
ment for the moments sake" as Pater
used to say; they are always beautiful
fances. And they are always character
istic of the man, not to be had from any
other man-pure authentic Barrieisms.
Yet, If you look for IT, and look in
diligently, there is certain unity; at any
rate, a recurring theme II is, of course
the Cinderella story. You first meet Gin

ture on pure water illustrated with
stereoptican view, drafting plans and
specifications and experimenting their
construction. The proposal was made
after a visit to the different sources
of supply near the city, and was taken
under Amusement until Monday night.
Mr.. Burns said that without making
the required survey it occurred to him
that the securing of Blue Lakes water,
considering the cost of installing the
heavy machinery needed to pump it to
the reservoir and the heavy cost of
maintenance would require the expen-
diture of too much money, if other
good water we're available The TAX
ing of water from Rock creek % miles
from the city, if the supply were suf-
ficient, might prove more satisfactory
owing to the great fall which would
obviate the necessity of pumping. All
these details, however, would have to
be worked out in the course of the
survey
The formal proposition included a
report on the different possible
sources of supply and the securing of
all necessary data, with an estimate of
cost of each and a statement in regard
to which is considered most practi-
cable, with all the required maps and
sketches necessary for complete I'M
derstanding of the cost of installing
each, and recommendation as to
which is considered the most practi-
cable For this and for plans for re-
facilitating the pipe system the sum
of $500 would be charged. The next
proposition would have to do with
the lecture on the subject by r p
Mcconnell, which would cost $50 The
last rrOposition was in regard to the

including bidding blanks, as well as
the details of attending to the letting
of contract.
For this a charge of five per cent
of the total cost would be charged;
four per cent payable when plans and
specifications were delivered and one
per cent on the acceptance of the con-
tract.
lnasmuch as Mayor Sweeley had a
number of letters from cities where
the firm had put in work it was decid-
ed to defer final action until
Monday in order to get more facts
from these cities with reference TO
whether the work proved satisfactory.
One of the suggestions OF Mir. Burns
was to the effect that filter beds of
modern form could be put in in sec
tons or units as needed by the city,
instead of putting in one large bed
years in advance of the city's needs in
anticipation OF further growth.
