William Archer used to wonder Why
plays successful in tho tneater did not
attain a relative popularity when
printed In book form. He thought that
best seller on the stage ought to give
impetus to its published version and
cause it to be, if not among tho pre-
eminent six, at least a volume Of con-
spicuous circulation.
Mr. Shaw informed him unsatisfac-
torlly that theater-goers do not read.
DismIsslns that judgment as a. bit Of
MI. Shaw's buffoon cynicsm, Mr. Archer
suggested the printed play AZ good
companion on a railway journey. He
adTocatcd sprishtIy comedy as ad-
mlrablc for commuters trips to and
from the city. An act or two of Strind-
berg or Of Shay between Pelham and
New York, he seemed to think, might
stimulate the reader for business: and

Mr.. Archer's ennuicd suburbanites in-
cludc Mr.. Maugham's "The Circle" Mr..
LcnnoX Robinson's "The White-hesdcd
Boy MIR. Belasco's "Ihe Return of
Feter Grimm" and sixteen modern in
tercsting onc-acters compiled by Helen
Louise Cohen. In the theater, "The
Circle" and "The Return of Peter
Grimm" are best sellers, and, they say.
The Whiteheaded Boy" is on the
threshold OF that distinction. Yet, little
Is doing in the bookshops SO far as these
dramas are concerned. Mr. Belasco's
play is in R volume containing several
other American works, selected and ap-
proved by DR.. Baker, Of Harvard. The
Cohen collection, the most interesting
think, OF its kind, includes MANY Of
tho Observation-Disclosures A. A.
Milne, Gslsworthy, Syngc, Ernest Dow
son, Maeterlinck, Percy MacKaye and
Josephine p. Peabody As an aid to
amateur and the semi-pro performances
OF the Little thaaters, Miss Cohcns
book provides illustrations Of stage
settings, attitudes, gestures and re-
gala.
There are, it seems, two WAYS of read
ing plays and some Of those addicted
TO the practice are in doubt as TO which
is the better. One method Of APPLYING
the imagination to the printed charac-
ters and incidents is to picture them as
elements in theatrical performance.
Another Is to reproduce in the minds
eye the persons and happenings as real.
That is to say, that some Of us, as we
read "Thc Circle" for instance. en-
frame its people, situations and lam
guage in a mental proscenium with all
the accessories Of the theatcr We see
IL as performance upon a stage, with
actors, lights, scenery, entrances and
exits. Others Of US find it more salts
factory to regard "The Circle" SO hap
pening in the stately drawing room, at
Aston -Adey, instead Of in scenic coun-
ter1eit Of that punctilious chamber.
Again, in other words, there are those
who read play as a performance and
those who read it as the real thing.

Mr.. Robinson, in printing The
Nhite-headcd Boy" endeavors to elimj-
nate the theatcr from its pages. He
employs narrative form of stage dj
rectlons instead OF the technical lar
eon used in other published dramas.
When Kate disappears TO make tea for
the white-headed boy, the instructions
are: "kste's OFF to tho kitchen now.
Amn't / after telling you that she's
great help to her mother" Which,
as Mr.. Ernest Boyd points out in his
introduction, is much more persuasive
than the customary bracketed exit

talks to herself about her white headed

plays, which arc very good indeed, even
better by his manner of printing them.
