A reader who signs himself or her
self E. B. Broun, but seems from his or
her tone to be most distant relation,
has written a complaint to our editor
which in due course has found its way
to us.
"What is the matter with the dra-
matte critics." writes L. B. Broun,
that they pass with such perfunctory
notice Rita We1lman's remarkable play
'The-.Gentile Wife? AS study Of
racial differences between Jew and
Gentle, with an intellectual as we'll as
an emotional appeal and strong dra
matte interest nothing better has been
done. TO the numerous theatre and
dramatic clubs no play more worthy Of
study and discussion could be sug
gested."
1t is true that v-o made no statement
letter OF E. B. Broun. After all, "The
Merchant of Venice" is study of racial
differences between Jew and Gentle,
and Mr.. Shakespeare, we think, has not
been behind Miss Wellman in imparting
an intellectual and an emotional appeal
as we'll as strong dramatic intere...
However, we refuse to plead guilty to
having dismissed the play with per-
functory notice. We hailed it at great
length as an excellent play and reserved
our severity only for the production,
which seemed to US naturalistic to the
point Of irritation We found difficulty
in hearing several of the players, and
our pique arose solely from the fact
that the things Miss Wellman had to
say richly deserved to be heard.

In connection with the naturalistic
method we have received an interesting
letter from an actress who points out
that the mistake is sometimes made Of
employing methods at the beginning of
play which fail then, but might easily
be made effective later in the perform
ance.
Mrs. Fiske turns her back upon the
audience" says the writer, "but she
does it advisedly. l know, for / have
played with her. So does Bcrnhardt,
but never at the beginning of play,
when every agency of expression, every
legitimate trick, is needed to arrest and
hold the attention of the audience. After
that is gained, you can play with them
almost at will and they will follow
you"

reached a high state of perfection, espe-

go to the grower instead Of the specu-

The planter, he said, is operating on a
narrow margin of profit. even at very

of fixing the price of the manufactured

eff no basis of assured prices can be

would assure the grower sufficient
