REORGANIZATION OF
stage IS TENDENCY
Walter Pichard Eaton. Harvard Alum.
nus. Writes Review.

What shall It pront American drama
lists they gain technique and lose
their own souls7"
This question is impliedly posed for
them ev Walter Prichard Eaton, well
known Harvard student OF the drama
who. writing in THE Literary Digest, /"
notes a distinct decline during the last
ten years in all but the constructive
qualities OF American plays He says:
American drama of today is more
American in style and less worthily
American in content than even ten years
ago: technically II Is finding itself, and
spiritually losing itself"
The descent of the American play takes
its start according to this critic-at-Iarge,
in the height reached by Bronson How
ard, James A. Herne, Clyde Fitch and
William Vaughn Moody. Moodys Great
Divide" was produced IN 1906. since when,
according to Mr.. Eaton, the America n
drama has grown progressively more
popular and less important and interpre-
tative." The slope downward is further
surveyed:
"A generation ago the majority Of new
plays In given season were of foreign
origin; today at least 75 per cent are OF
native authorship. We have learned to
like our own plays best. but We have not
learned to like our own best plays-or,
at any rate, to demand them. In ap-
proXimately the decade since The Great
Divide certain native dramas which are
truly interpretative of American life or
character, either In serious or bantering
mood. have, of course, been produced
Among them are The College Widow,
The New York Idea A Mans World,
The Fourth Estate 'Kindling' and Too
Many Cooks
But the type OF play which has come
to the front in recent years, the critic
declares, ''is neither like the drama of
Herne and Fitch, on the one hand, nor
such comedies and miscellaneous pieces
as Her Husbands Wife Romance and
The Great Lover on the other"
