You may see Man and Superman
with any actor you chose as Roebuck
Ramsden and yet upon returning from
the playhouse you will hardly know so
much about the play as the man VINO
sat in the library and read the volume.
II will hardly be the fault of the actor
that he is unable TO convey the very
definite information set down in the
stage directions OF Act /, "He was born,
as a matter Of fact, in 1889, and was a
Unitarian and Free Trader from his
boyhood. and an Evolutionist from the
publication OF the Origin OF Species.
Consequently he has always classed

This year we have 2,046 students

we will have 1895. Mr.. Bullock

hut the Encyclopedia Britannica seems
20 be on reasonable ground when it
says that Literature" is "a general
term which, in default Of precise def
milton, may stand for the best EXPIRES
sion OF the best thought reduced 20
writing" Reduced 10 words" would
suit US a little better, but that will
make no great difficulties.
The phase OF drama which seems TO
hop out from beneath even so broad a
term as literature is pantomime "Pier-
rot the Prodigal," for instance. is most
certainly drama and yet, since il takes
no srticulste shape save in its musical
accompaniment, II cannot be classed as
literature. Until a company and an
orchestra have assembled the piece
exists merely as manual OF stage di-
rections. Then, again, the scenario Of
The Birth of Nation" could hardly
be classified as literature, while the
picture In completed firm might pos
sibly come under the head Of drama.
We should choose TO say, however, that
the moving picture is not drama, but
merely an allied art. Psntomime must
be retained even though 1t disturbs the
definition.
Shakespeare, however, presents none
OF these difficulties. His plays are bet
ter known to US between covers than
on the stage. II is possible that he
wrote merely 70 please the audiences Of
his period. IL has been pointed out
that he sought publication only for his
poems. The intent of the author makes
little difference. Even If the drama and
literature were divergent rather than
allied arts, the fact would remain that
to-day Shakespeare is more read than
heard. His place in the library is more
secure than his position on the stage.
Some people say that a play is not
born until il is presented on stage
before an audience. This is an arbi-
trary position. We can observe a dis
tinct pulsation in that bulky manu-
script in the upper left hand corner
Of our desk, and on very still even
ings we have heard the howls of the
heroine as she grappled with the third
act climax. And we will not admit that
Shelley's "Cenci"is not a play. even
though we are under the impression
that II has never been presented.
Only reactionary will insist that
drama is an art apart from literature.
All the most noteworthy playwrights
Of our day have a reading as well as &
theatregoing public. The literary quail
ity is undeniabe In the work OF Shaw,
of Barrie, OF Gslsworthy. Of Schnitzier
and of Maeterlinck. Even a playwright
who is so peculiarly of the theatre as
Pinero can stand the test Of the print
ed word. "The Gay Lord Quex' reads
almost as well as il plays.
In the case Of Shaw, the man VINO
merely hears his plays, misses mueh.

YOU can in the open air, breathe deeply
and get from the Mcbride & Will

one after each meal and one before re-
firing at night.
Weigh yourself once week so as to
know Just how fast you are losing
weight and don't leave off the treatment

is pleasant to take, and helps digestion.
Even a few days treatment has been
