The Blarsted English
~ Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright 1915. by Frank Crane)


Nothing is so obstinately long-lived as
platltude. Once get bromide untruth
generally accepted and il is insoludle by
any kind of proof or reasoning.
Somewhere and somehow the state
ment got itself uttered that Englishmen
are thick-headed and have no sense of
humor. Americans are the only really
witty folk. An Englishman cannot see
joke.
This is of piece with the English per-
suasion that all Americans are crude in
manner, all speak thru the nose, and all
are either money-logged or money mad.
All nations suffer from their persistent
caricature
But | speak now of the English. We
say they have no sense of humor. How,
then, does it come that among all the
plays of this season in America the four
that stand out as pre-eminently original,
clever, sparkling, and entertaining, are
Little Lady in Blue" by the authors
Of Grumpy" "A Kiss for Cinderella"
by Barrie, Magic" by Chesterton, and
the Inca of Perusalem," by a Royal
Academician, all English? | do not say
that these excel as theatrical productions
of that am no judge, but they are GER
tainly far and away above the level of
the other plays in sheer creative genius
and subtle wit
hope | am true-born American and
ready at all times to wiring the British
lions tail with or without the slightest
excuse. | hope also that am a genu-
wine patriot, and hence believe that moth
ing good can come out of any country
except this, our own.
But
How does il come, for instance, that
no American composer has ever got with
in hailing distance of Gilbert and Sulli-
van? There's about as much difference
between "Pinafore' and the average
Broadway musical comedy as there is be-
tween Mark Twain and the village cut
up. One is mastery; the other is-just
punk.
And huccum that the undisputed king
of international testers is one Bernard
Shaw, Irish-English?
Far be it from me not TO resent on
every occasion the blarsted superiority Of
the English, but why doesn't somebody
over here write as clever essays as Gil
bert Chesterton, and why do John Mase-
field and Alfred Noyes occupy the poetic
spotlight
Drat the Br1tishersl What right have
they to be clever? There ought to be
law against it.
Why could we not extend our protec-
tive tariff so as to exclude their intellec-
tual wares, lest we be ruined by cheap
labor? Or why not apply the grand and
glorious Monroe Doctrine to prevent per-
fidious Albion from usurping any of the
rights, royalties, and usufructs OF Amer
lean authors2

The Ship That Did Not Sail

The Ship That Did Not Sail
He who rideth on a railway train
in hot weather when he might go by
boat should be condemned with this
awful condemnation, to wit, that he
should be PERMITTED to ride up on a
railway train. For this was the con-
demnation of Judas that he went to
his Own Place; so can no sinner ever
go to any He'll save he doth carry
his own Birthstone with him.
There was a day when Keturah and
/ sat both of us together upon the
Deck of Ship and we paid the fare
and we said: Tonight we go from
Boston to Portland.
And / spake to Keturah and said,
Seest thou these three ships? They
all leave at Six o'clock, and the one
over against us goes to New York.
We shall behold Grand Sight when
all three leave the dock together.
And Keturah said, Where doth the
one ahead of us go?
And | answered, / know not. But
it must leave in order that we may
leave. For its stern, overlappeth
our bow; and because it is now nigh
unto six o'clock the ship cannot well
leave before that. Therefore know /
that the three ships must leave at
once.
But i was mistaken.
The ship whose stern did overlap
our bow was Not Going Anywhere.
The ship for New York did leave
promptly at six o'clock, and ours be-
gan to get ready to leave at six. But

out. And by the time our ship was
out in the stream the New York boat
was Two Knots down the Harbor and
Going Some, and we were Not In 1t
with her. Our ship left the Dock in
Now l spake of this to Keturah,
saying, the Church hath great enter
prise which call for the Launching
of Great Fleets in which many Christ
ians sail abreast, but every now and
then it cometh to pass that some
Sleepy Christian who Isn't Going
Anywhere, unless it may be Heaven,
and who is Mighty Slow even about
that, lieth Moored to the Dock, Fore
and Aft, bound Bow and Stern with
Gables of Tradition or Habit or Iner-
tia, and not only Spreadeth not his
own Sails, but lieth athwart the
course of his Fellow Christians till
the opportunity is Just Disappearing
over the Horizon, and even then he
barely maketh Grudging Room for
some one else to make Futile and
Belated Start.
And wish that the Christians who
do not Go Anywhere would Go To
Heaven or Somewhere, and Let Other
People Do Things.
