Writers In England. as a result Of

get away from reality, and imagination
IS returning, according to Mr.. Morton.
He does not know whether the older
writer's will ever recover entirely their
imaginative faculties, but many young
minds, he says, have been stimulated

"A great many more men came out
Of the war as writer's than went into
it as writer's. In the younger men the
literary faculty was brought out in an
acute stage, while the older men had
an opposite reaction. Perhaps that ex-
plains why so many American drama
fists have provided their plays to fill
he breach in England in friendly
manner"
