humorous, in spite of the fact that
since his birth (1864) he has been sur
rounded by life that rarely lent it.
self to laughter-unless it was the
laughter that is meant to hide a tear.
His early childhood days in Bristol,
Plymouth, and after his ninth
year in the notorious Spitalfelds of
London, had brought him into contact
with the raw, ugly phases of existence,
and cut his artistic sensitive being
with a razor-edge keenness.
And yet, in justice to him, one
should not disregard his limitations.
He is primarily writer of prose- His
prose sentences are charged with a
sorority and articulation which in
places attain a sheer beauty that al
most pains. There are passages in
1.-The Children of the Ghetto" that
leave the sensitive reader in ecstatic
reveries as if he had drunk hashish or
some other potion of an Oriental
charmer. But his verse-at least most
of his verse that have reads wood
en-. 1t does not sing itself-an indis-
pensable requisite in all poetry
whether the most ancient or ultra
modern. 1t contains the music pro-
duced on a piano by hammering the
keys on cracked sounding board, or
of playing on a violin with riven
body. Aside from that he is counted
among the greatest English drama
fists of our day. His name is uttered
with the same breath as that of Shaw,
Barrie, Galsworthy, and of the other
foremost playwrigl.ts.
A dramatist in England of equal
wealth, of talent and even greater
artistry, is Sir Arthur Wing Pinero
(born in 1850. Pinero is the son of
Jewish solicitor of Portuguese de-
scent. While Zangwill is Jew of
the Jews, Pinero is an Englishman of
the English. His whole life is direct
contrast to that of the author of "The
Melting Pot" The only thing Jewish
noticeable in Pinero is that particular
quaint humor, the effervescence of a
sad life, that is so current among
Jews. Outside of this, all the dramas
of his that I have read could have

The Jew In The Drama
By Herman Jacobsohn

shows himself the big, powerful son
OF Israel that he is, speaking in the
voice of mighty prophet. His mes
sage is always bold, fearless, often
aggressive, making for the pulsating
life and hope that come from looking
courageously into the future. He pos
sesses many of the faults of the artist
with whom the matter and not the
manner is of supreme Importance.
When he takes the attitude of attack,
and the ardor of the elemental man
makes itself felt, then only his fine,
broad humor saves his work from the
tedium and unpleasantness such
dramas often inspire in the hands of
lesser men. He is perhaps at his best
when he shows himself the dreamer,
the philosopher, brooding with puzzled
brow over the secrets of life and
death. But he is always a Jew of the
Jews social justice and broad human
itarianism holding his keenest atten-
ton.
Now and then his soul seems diff
fused as it were among all the peoples
of the earth and scars away to worlds
