as child had upset her
more or less. It was thirty years
since she had left it. Twenty years
ago she had married and settled
in Paris. Business connected with
an inheritance had brought her
back for a day. An old aunt had
died and left her some effects,
which, though they had no great
value, were at least worth trip
Of inspection.
M. Boqueteau, her husband, a man
already growing gray, accompanied
her. The children remained in
Paris.
They were making a tour of the
town while waiting to take the
train home.
"You see that house?" said
Nine. Boqueteau. "That was Mile.
Crochu's boarding house, Of which

A little further on she exclaimed:
"You see that grocery store7 That
is where we used to go to get the
caramels I told you about"
The husband smiled vaguely, with
that air of resignation which he al
ways wore when Nine. Boqueteau

Teople and their problems and morals

vivid material bequeathed to us by the
war in its relation to our national life

whether it is not a ridiculous thing

play about the American housing prob

done valuable propaganda work in the
States, does it not occur to you that it
is humiliating example of the neglect
of native dramatic art? For of course.
1t the actress-manager really wants a
housing play, written for the English
stage and from the standpoint Of our
own housing problems, there are good
dozen Of English authors who. would
tackle that problem with, at any rate,
an equal dramatic competence and most
assuredly with infinitely more profit to
the problem than any play dealing
with it as it exists in another hemi- |

| ~ PENING his essay on JOSEPH
Conrad's short stories, in
"The Catholic World" with
inevitable comment upon the
famous Polish writer's passion for
the sea, Joseph J. Reilly, Phi. D.,
launches into some fine paragraphs
celebrating the almost uncanny force
with which the appeal Of Conrad's
pictures must strike any sensitive
and imaginative reader. To quote
q bit:
During Conrad,s twenty years as
sailor he visited the remotest corners
of the world and gives US a series Of
varied and unforgettable pictures; there
are faraway islands which, q mass of
green, Tie upon the level Of a polished
sea, like a handful Of emeralds on a
buckler Of STEEL There are rivers
whose virgin waters have never been
ploughcd by white mans boat.
beaches upon whose laundering surf
stands the cottage Of Nelson, a Re-
nouard or Van Wyk, with striped
awnings, attractive flower beds. and
walks Of imported gravel. Again. he
pictures a white mans hut smothered
amid rank verdure on the squalid edge
Of Malay settlement where a han
less discard of civilization might drag
out an uncertain existence. Again.
he gives us what he calls ironically
an outpost Of civilization far I'D a
lonely river where the boat Of some
trading company's director finds it's
way twice year, and where the dead
~ heat destroys mems bodies as pitt
lessly as the contact with savagery and
the abandonment Of the decalogue de-
stroy their souls. Here Is q vivid |
page from The Lagoon, a white man
and his Malay servants are padding
up a tropical river;
AT the end Of the straight avenue
OF forests cut by the intense glitter
OF the river the sun appeared un-
clouded and dazzling, poised low over
the water that shone smoothly like a
band of metal. The forests, sombre
and dull. stood motionless and silent
on each side Of the broad stream. At
the foot Of tho big, towering trees

TO- MORROW is Thomas
Hardy's birthday. He was
Il born on June 2, 1910, sew

enty-nine years ago, at
Rockhampton, Dorset. He was edu-
Gated at local schools, 1848-'54,
and afterward privately, and in
1856 was articled to John Hicks. an
ecclesiastical architect of Dorches-
ter.
In 1859 he began writing verse
and essays, but in 1861 was COM
PEELED to apply himself more strictly
to architecture, sketching and meas
urlng many old Dorset churches with
view to their restoration. In 1868
ne won the medal of the Royal In
stitute Of British Architects for an
essay ons "Colored Brick and Terra
Gotta Architecture" and in the
same year won the prize of the Ar
chitectural Association for design.
In March, 1865, his first short story
was published in "Chambers's Jour-
nal," and during the next two or
three years he wrote a good deal of
verse, being somewhat uncertain
whether to take to architecture or
literature.
In 1874 Hardy married Miss
Emma Lavinia, daughter of the late
T. Attersoll Clifford, of Plymouth.

Left to amateurs

Last week two new plays were pro-
duced in London, and it need hardly
be said that they were both American
plays. But if | were to set out in full
detail the prospective arrangements
for the production of American plays
on the London stage during the next
year or two, you would ask yourself
where theatre room was going to be
found for them all. But the question
that interests, and depresses, the Eng
lish playwright is what room they are
going to leave for the production of
English plays. What with American
managers who have leased London the
aires years ahead, and the English
managers who have bought American
plays under contract to produce them
within early dates, it looks very much
as though the playgoer who wants to
see an English play on the London
stage will have to look up the seasons
programme of the amateur dramatic
societies and venture forth to the
town halls of Streatham, Ealing and
Walthamstow.
"Now newspaper column allows no
scope for circumlocutory compliments
and camoufage. And so l will not
waste space in any polite and labored
effort to dispel any illusion that
American plays are Of such a superior
order to English plays that the
American dramatst is obliging us by
making up for our own artistic de-
ficiencies. 1t might be 80. but it hap
pens that it isn't so. AS some one has
said, the American plays staged in
London are not bad enough to make
English dramatists jealous. but are
just bad enough to make them furious.
In any case, hold no brief for Ameri-
can plays, and all that need be said
Of them is that the best might be
worse, but the worst could not posi-
bly, be. There is, then, no question Of
professional jealousy in the griev-
snce, for the imported American
drama is simply not SO superior to the
grown variety as to justify the
prospective avalanche on the ground
that art has no frontiers

at the height of it's season.

80 And, Electrically, the Amer
lean play holds sway.
No less than seven all-American
productions are drawing the crowds
(and they are real crowds, for
houses are sold out weeks in adj
vance), and three or four others
have distinct American flavor.
Fair and Warmer" Business
Before Pleasure" Eyes of Youth, :"
"The Very Idea" and "Uncle Sam"
are some Of the straight United
States productions, while the pop
ular Monsieur Beaucaire" retains
it's Booth Harrington flavor, al
though set to music.
With the French cutting in on
their part with several comedies and
a musical show, the best Of the for
mer being "Cyrano de Bergerac," it
must be admitted that the English
playwright is somewhat out of it.
And does he like it? He does not.
Here is what "an English play
wright" says Of the situation in "The
Evening News:
"For the English dramatists, too,
have their grievance-a very great one,
and one not easily remedied by trade
union methods. And so the latest and
most desperate suggestion is that we
shall all meet secretly and decide to
take steps to get naturalized as Ameri-
can citizens, in the hope that we may
then be able to get our plays on the
English stage. A desperate remedy, l
admit, but things have become desper-
ate and that seems The Only Way.
"A year ago things weren't SO bad.
Besides, only the war mattered then.
But for every American play taken off
during the last twelve months two have
taken its place and three are threat
ened. We will say nothing about the
established and still running plays,
and the various musical comedies that
have been adapted and adopted for the
London stage until their original trans
atlantic authors would hardly recog-
nize them-except for the royalties.
But it is what is pending, imminent
and prospective, that alarms us, for we
shall soon be driven off the boards and
unable to obtain the lodgings.

His first popular success was
made by Gar From the Madding
Crowd" in 1874, which, on it's ap-
pearance in "The Cornhill Maya
zine" anonymously, was attributed
by many to George Eliot. Cess of
the D'Urbervilles," written in 1891,
and "Life's Little Ironies," written
in 1894, are two Of the writer's most
popular and famous works, although
he has written much fiction and
verse since that time. The change
from fictionist to poet in the autumn
of life may be said to be quite I'M
usual, but his late poetry written at
this stage reveals a poetic facility
and grace heretofore concealed in
the man except in his striking prose
expression.
