An Angry Old Man.

Had he been content TO champion the
wholesome" drama of the past, which he
understood, and not set himself against
the new movement, which he did not
understand and which he was eternally
striving TO belittle because it stood for
ideas that were radically opposed to his
own, we should still have been able to
abide by his Judgments; but in condemn
ing modern plays and modern actors he
became obsessed with the notion that the
earlier actors and the earlier plays were
far superior to all else. He lost his sense
of proportion and, consumed with a
mania of impotent rage, spluttered help
leSsly in sea Of exasperated invective.
The vindictive note is everywhere pres
ent In the later works. In The Life and
Art Of Richard Mansfield his spitefulness
takes the form Of childish tricks when he
considers the famous Beau BrummcH case;
for example, he consistently avoids re-
ferring to Clyde Fitch by his rightful
name, preferring for his purpose such
devices as calling the well known dramat-
list "Mr. w. C. Fitch" &c. Fitch" and
the like. In The Life of Darid Belasco
we are afforded the same sort of thing.

unsympathetic detraetors can deny that
he is an imposing figure, one impossible
to ignore. We're it only for the mass of
material that he has already collected in

in our libraries and form the basis Of
much of our material on the American
theatre.
Winter was not only critic who prac-
ticaIly dominated a great dramatic-or

man of letters; his books would demand
attention by reason of their delightful
style if not for their matter.

The publishers are rendering a distinct
service in issuing volume after volume OF
the collected works Of the veteran critic.
These already include three series of
studies relating to Shakespeare on the
Stage, two volumes of miscellaneous ma
terial in The Wallet Of Time, two on The
Life AVID Art Of Richard Mansfield, not
to mention biographies of actors, single
volumes of "reminiscences, and finally, the
most imposing of all the biographies, The
Life of Ddrid Belasco-two volumes,
with a total of 1903 pages!
A quick glance at this formidable set is
sufficient to see that the writer has been
at pains to gather all available material
not only On the life Of Mr.. Belasco, but
on the numerous associates of Mr.. Belasco
and the various activities with which he
has been identified. Indeed, had Winter
confined himself merely to a biography of
David Belaseo that manager must surely
have protested. Bernard Shaw's biog-
rapher dared not devote over half the
space to his hero that Mr.. Winter has
given to his, and I know of no Goethe
biography-evcn by q German-that is
longer than the work now under consid-
Grafton. Surely William Winter must
have considered his subject rather as a
centre of activities, a point of departure,
than demigod.
Belasco's Claim to Fame.
l intend no disrespect to Mr.. Belasco,
who is very able manager, a play
tinker of talent who rendered signal ser
vice to the American theatre during a
period Of depression. In all probability
% the obstacles he was called upon TO face
and surmount were fully as great, if not
greater, than those faced and surmounted
by Our younger managers and play
wrights. But seriously, is there any conf
parison between the plays produced by
Belaseo and the manner in which he
mounted them, and the plays and artistic
achievements of Arthur Hopkins and
Robert f. Jonesl At time when Europe
