Playwright Utters
 Words of Wisdom

Rachel Barton Butler, the writer of prize winning plays of the Harvard quality, wisely restricts herself to plays of general character and is not entirely in harmony with so-caIled historical plays unless they be written with the greatest respect for tradition.
 ''Playgoers who witness the unfold ing of an historical play" Miss Butler declares, fare impressed by the cen tral character, and that impression is thereafter. Many playwrights realize their responsibility in writing plays of this character, but some apparently do not if we judge by the stage char features which have been presented. It is a duty to the playwright, the actor and the manager owes to his tory as well as to dramatic art, to see that these great man and women of history are correctly presented. Otherwise inestimable harm may be done"
 Miss Butler has a prize play run ming in New York at present in Ma mas Affairs and hardly had tha1 been brilliantly and successfully pro duced when Oliver Morosco an nounced the early presentation of an | other one. She is the youngest of oul present day playwrights in point o1 professional service, and at the same time has the enviable distinction o1 being one of the most successful.
