O,un Playwright!

this as his point of departure. Change
the condition of society, he argues, so
that every citizen can be an aristo-
GRAFT Give him one of the several
dozen forms of society that are of
fered to take the place of the present
one; in any one of them his only limit
for personal development will be him
self, and life and imagination freed
and invigoratcd will be reflected in
a newly energized art. SO far, if the
premises are to be accepted, the argu-
ment would doubtless hold good But
that the theatre could be formulizcd
under those conditions to suit the
artistic greed of one set of minds,
that the intellectual theatre would be
any more literally patronized and the
theatre Of featherwcight fancies less
amply supported, is open to q large
and heavy doubt. The quality of each
might be improved, but the ratio Of
human prediction for each would re-
main unchanged.
No, regardless of what society does
10 ltSoll, tnerc Will always be large
variation in human tcmperaments
Burlesque would probably be just as
rich and ugly and racy under social
ism as it is now. If people believed
a new society would kill all the old
jokes, probably every one would be
willing to take try at it.
The only thing to do under crcum
stances of this kind is to pick out the
kind of theatre you want and then go
have it. 1t is by no means true, as a
large number of Broadway ticket
brokers assume, that the possibilities
Of excellence in the ordinary drama
have been exhausted. Even the man
who picks it out as his kind of drama
to the extent Of laying down $3.50 plus
war tax at the box office may be pick
ing it because he hasn't got the time
to go out and get up a better kind of
his own. This is, after all, q specialized
world. and sometimes it is almost i'm
perative to take what you can get OF
go without. 1t is, therefore, a good
time for some producer to step in and
corner large collection of such gen
tlemen and produce their kind OF
drama for them. A careful scrutiny
of Broadway would show at least one
of them in the process of doing it with
good deal of profit to himself
