E,LIZABETHAN plays are written to
IL large extent. as I have said, In
authentic blank verse: they are fire.
Qucntly possessed of distinction In style !;
and poetry is the element in which
tho old drama lives. Mr.. Gregory's
verse often tottcrs on the verge Of prose,
and while all Of it Is blank. II Is not

Mr.. Dresser finds the "inspiration"

T REALLY do not hold any brief
l. against "Caius Gracious" which is
worthy enough effort Of its no very
unusual kind. But ! am interested in
Mr.. Drciscr's Introduction and in how
it comes that n writer of his conspicu-
business, if not distinction. should sug
gcst 50 surprising an inference. Ought
Mr.. Dresser to have known better? Or
was II not to have been suspected even
of him: Eat what does he really say?
He says that for three centuries Eng
lish metric drama has remained sterile
that the Elzabethan period carried no
appeal to the generations that followed
that the ''drab poison Of Puritanism
killed the old drama which was "Rab
claisian, most of It. anyhow That
pretty word. "Rabelaisinn" will Oovcr
Mr.. DrcisCr's own sins in this kind. by
the way, far better than those of old
MarlOwc and Messenger. However. let
US be- fair. Mr.. Dresser means that no
one English author has held the stage
Hs MoliCre. Racine and Corneillo in
France. except Shakespeare. And per
haps he is right in his suggestion that
Shakespeare : very CminCnCC is the rca
son for this. But can Mr.. Dresser be
ignorant that Fletcher and Jonson
held the English stage with Shake
>pearc for three generations? Dryden
for At least two. Goldsmith with Far
Quhar and other lesser men for Ms
many? And is he unaware of our
splendid modern literary drama frcIA
byron to TcnnySon. browning and
Swinburnc. that he can mention only
Stephen Philips. whose plays are only
Il little more Stagcablc than these
greater productions and great deal
more so than "Caius GraCChus.

DUT it is not quite fair to Mr..

| am inclined TO think that Mr.. Gregory
has probably heard far more about the
ancicnts and several other things than
Mr.. Dresser. even though he carries
back the manners of the empire a couple
Of hundred years to republican Rome.
Mr.. GrCgOry's dialogue is direct and,
barring an occasional lapse in taste. a
rare pseudo poetic word like "erst

OVERMUCH PRAISE FOR
"CAIUS GRACIOUS"
hen Theodore Dresser Calls "the Greatest Play Since
Shakespeare He Displays More Enthusiasm for
Friend Than Literary Discrimination
by FEIIX Il. SCHELLING
Professor Of English Unvrs OF

I WAS greeted the other day by a
l. literary lady of my acquaintance,
member of several societies for the i'm
provement of this. that or the other,
with the query:
And have you read 'Caius Grac-
Chus'?"
Not being possessed of the ubiquitous
powers Of reading everything that any
body writes which some of my unhappy
kind allege that they possess, replied
that I did not oven know that Caius
Grachus had been written either up or
down.
why" said my fair informant. "It's
the greatest play since Shakespeare :"
Strange to say. ! was not stunned |;
for the phrase sounded familiar. In
deed there have been scores of "thc
greatest play since Shakespeare. They
bud and bloom in ovcry age and go their
fragile way to oblivion. Some Of them
| have exhumod in my day but lacking
the ubiquitous reading powers alluded
to above. | suppose that many a one
has escaped me. On examination, SO
far as l can learn. this particular
greatest play since Shakespeare" is
the furthest western example of its
species, having put forth its hardy petals.
if ono can judge from the present resi-
dcnCC. of Mr.. Dresser. on the very mar
gin Of the Pacific. Indeed I feel that
We may agree with Mr.. Dresser. who is
our informant as to the precise degree
Of tho greatness Of "Caius Gracchus,"
in admitting without reservation and
even remembering the movies" that
this is the greatest play which has been
written in Los Angeles since Shakes
