Maeterlinck, the ReaZist

Any play by Maeteriinck Is OF i'm
portance, both from the aspect OF
drama and from that OF literature. He
Is indeed one OF the few men writing
Tor the Stage today whose plays have
value as literature As anybody
knows, many plays for the American
stage are thrown together without re-
gard for their value except as theat-
rical productions.
Maurice MaeterIinck, a Belgian who
has used French as his means Of ex-
preston, is first and last a literary
man. thinker, a scientist and a
philosopher. To him. the stage has
represented simply another medium
Tor the expression of life as he sees
II, and particularly the great truths
that underlie life. His many plays
nave won him fame, not so much for
"hat they appear on the surface. but
primarily for their expression of the
deeper realities of life. And the ex-
preston Of such he has found through
the use of a recondite symbolism and
under the cloak of mysticism.
In "A Burgomaster of Belgium"
Maeterhnck has dropped the cloak of
mysticism, OF symbolism. and of all
the other virtues with which his fol-
lowers and admirers have endowed
MN The play is a slice of life, a
vivid picture OF a little Belgian VIII
