The theory, per Sc, is not strictly
novel. to be sure. but wait till you hear

dations thereon, and then decide for
Yourself whether there is not sound

Jake know it," How many in the
audience on the third night knew
what that meant? 1t is humor of this
kind that suggests so many of these
pieces may be written altogether for
the first night public. But they seem
to survive to entertain later arrivals
The actors are impartial. The
oleaginous Ed Wynn wanted to know
where Flo Ziegfeld was sitting, since
to see him laugh at Shubert show
would count so much for him. Mr.
Ziegfeld was as a matter of fact sitting
in the audience, while a smile as non

handsome features. Perhaps he was

Two more of these spectacles are

1.-THE trouble with us as a nation
Is that we have no theatre of our own,
Just as, in a measure, we have no
literature of our own. A strictly ma
tlonal literature We may or may not
develop. but strictly national drama
We cannot develop. Looking upon our
selves with unprejudiced eyes. we have
got to admit that we have produced
only two literary geniuses OF trans
cendent importance-Poe and Whit
man--both of whom we have practi-
cally repudiated as a nation. leaving
It TO the deeper culture of Europe to
appreciate at their full value. We
have as a nation rejected both OF these
poets, denying them a place In the Hall
of Fame. just as we would reject and
deny the Same honor TO a pair of
native born dramatists OF the Same
