THE MODERN DRAMA
Effects of the WarEarnestness of Modern Dramasts
 Want of Appreciation -Thralldom to Convention
By THORNWELL HAYNES President Birmingham College

ern drama we do not realize the ex- periences which have burned them selves into the individual souls of our modern dramatists. We cannot. or at least we do not. feel the struggle the writer has had barehanded with the complex and unjust and individual de- stroying conditions of society as at present organized.
 Our modern dramatists have suc- ceeded not because they were trying to woo success. Ibsen and Strindberg. Hautpmann and Sudermann. Rostand and BrieuX, none of these, no more than Tolstoy and Andreyev, Yeats and Robinson. are high-brow, art-for-art' S sake poseurS They have written be- cause they are sorry that so many hu- man stomachs throb for food They grieve because mans birthright of freedom and Individuality has lost itself in society's tyranny of shams.
 For after all, how many of us are independent? What man or woman of us would dare live what we think ? Where is the human who does not dis semble? Those who work for great corporations oftimes do not own their tongues. Members of the great politi- cal parties can look through only one telescope. Religions and creeds keep most OI us Uu01D TOT IedT Ol lOSlnS q job or a soul, more often and more unfortunately. mayhap, the former.
 My dear reader, you know as well as I do that if you spoke and lived your mind as free as the air and as fearless as the eagle which cleaves it. you would be about the most lonesome piece of humanity this side the cem etery. And despite the fact that what we are contributes more to our happi- ness than what we have, we persist in being miserable by untruthfulness to our convictions.
 And you know that all our social and political and rel gious world has signboards. Life's highway is lined with them "Is it popular?" What will people say?" Look out for your job ? "I must do it or lose trade" "Keep your tongue still or you'1l be boycot- ted" Turn to the right or somebody will criticize you.' This way to the city of lies" Everybody goes there

'T am benevolent because somebody is looking"
 But Hauptmann. this son of weaver. told the world very clearly and unhesitatingly what he believed about social and industrial iniquity injustice and hypocrisy. Ibsen in his inmost soul hated lies and shams, false idols and deceit. "No figure in con temporary literature, outside of Tol- stoy. laid bare the most sacred hooks and corners of his own soul as did Strinberg." And so with Shaw, the most brilliant and daring. the most trenchant and sincere of them all
 But, look you. does it not then come about that the most unfortunate thing in connection with this recent drama : awakening period in our American life. this studying of plays. this going to hear them read this acquaintance with brilliant, iconoclast authors-G say in as modest a manner as possible, may it not be true that in the majority of cases we are affected neither intel lectually or spiritually?
 We think it is charming and beau tiful in a kind of high-brow, art-for- arts sake, tinted horizon pink tea sort of monocle way, but the truth does not burn deep enough into our con sciences to increase pity for the my
 
 creed and greed. In other words, this modern turning to the drama may sell books for the publishers, but it too oftimes fails to beget pity for the poor We speak of the gestures of the reader who interprets as charmine 9 and graceful. but the gesture of the gaunt hand stretched forth for food-oh horrors.
 Bread riots may break out in New York and Philadelphia. hunger weak ened and desperation inspired hu- mans may cry and curse and kill, but it fails to get properly into our heads that this is only one of the phases of life which meant so much to the soul of the dramatist.
 For instance, do we not read The Weaver, and yet the poor to us are still happy and content? We do not understand Brieuxs Damaged Goods or if we do, we are content to allow , the tyranny of the sham which it SC tragically denounces still throttle us ir our thinking and acting. Doubtless we have talked enthusiastically o1 Mrs. Warren's profession, but are stil satisfied to punish Mrs. Warren and al her brood as criminals.
 Oh. when will we he sincere and say what we think instead of flourishine what somebody else has said like a liam ing torch!
 Considering the hypocrites from Ad- am to Wilson the answer is: It will bt a long time.
