course American farce Is
the finest in the world, q"
says Avery Hopwood, who
wrote Fair and Warmer" Seven
Days" and '31obody's Widow" and
therefore should be listened to when
he talks on farce. Nothing exas-
peratss me so much as those critics
who think it's a compliment TO an
American farce 10 be called as good
as the French We contented our
selves for a long time with transla-
ti0ns OF continental farces- We ac-
cepted blindly the assertion Of the
world that French and German farces
could not be improved on. Then, be-
cause we are an enterprising people
and great on doing things for our
selves, we turned our hand to making
our native farce, and in ten years
time we had distanced all eompsti-
ton
These are not vain assumptions.
You have only to look at the theaters
abroad at the outbreak Of the war TO
see that American farces had driven
practically everything else into the
background. Margaret Mayo's Baby
Mine anu own seven lays
were both in the lead. 1 could name
you dozens OF others as successful in
the five years previous.
There are sound reasons for this
supremacy. The American farce is
more subtle, more varied. vastly more
humorous than its rivals. And most
important Of all. American farce has
borrowed the trick Of Characterization
from American comedy. Abroad the
lire between farce and comedy is
sharply drawn Their comedy may be
anything. Into II they put all their
ingenuity, their resOurcerulness, their
social observation and their rapier-
Ike sense Of humOr Into their
farces they put only situation-and
