~OR fourteen years John Butler Yeats,
the we'll known Irish writer and por-


the well known Irish writer and por-
trait painter, has lived in the same
little 3pension" in the upper Twenties on
the West Side of New York. At his table
gather nightly many of New York's literary
people, artists, sculptors, critics, theatrical
folk, who go to talk to Mr.. Yeats, and who
always return. For those who have thought
that conversation was a lost art in this age
change that opinion after sitting by this
corner table at the head Of which is John
Butler Yeats. He is always kindly in his
criticisms and in his talk though incisive
and keen and ever on the alert, with geni-
ality which is contagious and a smile which
lights up his whole face, with a nimble Wit
and the gracious gift of being able to find
the heart of any subject.
His interest in what the fashionable man
should wear" is obviously lacking. It is not
his height which is commanding nor his
gray beard-which, if you stop to think
about his appearance, you remember that
he has-but it is the brightness of his eyes,
the illumination Of his smile, the dignity
and charm inherent in the whole man, that
win the listener.

Among the New York city parks and
historical buildings described and pictured In
the report are Battery Park and its sug-
gested peace memorial 100 stories high; Gen.

The presentation OF the freedom OF the
city of New York. to distinguished foreign
visitors in 1919 has served as the occasion
for the indefatigable secretary of the asso-
citation making this report Dr. Edward
Hagaman Hail. to prepare and include In the
book a list of recipients of this honor from
1902 to 1919, with notations of the costs OF
some Of the gold boxes presented to distin-
guished "freemen" of the city. One of the
curious features disclosed by DR.. Halls re-
searches in this particular field Is that there
II no official record Of "any formal action
authorizing the comforting the freedom of
the city on Cardinal Mercier. King Albert
and the Prince of Wales in 1919. although, as
n matter OF fact, the Mayor did publicly con-
fer the municipal honor on those distin-
guished visitors"
There Is also no record OF the Mayors
action in the case OF Eamonn De Valera,
president of the Irish Republic" although
the Board of Aldermen voted him the compli-
ment of the freedom of the city. The re-
port suggests that a form of procedure be
authorized for the bestowal OF this gift, to
perfect the future records of the city.

and then it might help TO start on the right
trail the child with genuine dramatic gift.
Well, 1 think there is a good deal to be
said in favor of the idea. This book-or
rather library-so helpfully put together by
Shay and Loving, would not do for primary
classes, but college classes in playwriting
might well study it. The fifty selections
were drawn from a thousand plays consd-
cred In his introduction Loving has this
to say of the reasons for including ma
jority of native compositions:
"The reader will observe that plays by
American authors predominant over those
of any other single country, and the reason
for this is fairly obvious. American plays,
besides being most readily available to the
anthologist are beginning to reflect the
renascence that is gradually taking place
in the American theatre. There is growing
up in this country younger generation or
dramatists, which is achieving its most no
table work outside the beaten path of popu-
lar recognition in small dramatic juntas and
in the little theatres. In the main the form
they employ as being most suitable to their
needs is that offered by the concise scaffold
of the one-act play. These efforts, we hold
deserve a wider audience"
These are not presented as something to
be considered apart from the institution
from which they were written. They were
made to be acted. In reading them one
should create his own imaginary accessories.
The character of these is suggested in the
introduction
Imagine a playhouse, perfectly equipped,
plastic and infinitely adaptable. Invite Ar
thur Hopkins. John Williams, Winthrop
Ames, Sam Hume and George Cram Cook
to manage it, Let them run riot on the
stage Clear the wings and the front of the
house of all routineers Fill the seats at
each performance with the usual gallery
haunters of the New York theatres. Do not
overlook the hosts of experimental play
house directors-unleash them in the back
yard area with kummerspielhdus to toy
with at pleasure Let the personnel of the
play reading committee consist of such men
as Ludwig Lewisohn, Barrett Fl. Clark.
George Jean Nathan and Francis Hackett.
The result will take care of Itself. This, in
brief, is the theatrical menage for which, in
the main. the plays included in this volume
were written"
Although America is predominant, wide
view has been taken, with these countries
represented: Austria, Schnitzler's "Litera-
ture"; Belgium, Maeterinck's Intruder;
Bolivia, Federico More's ,''Interlude'; France,

these elements is vital one, but the time in
which 1t is exercised is brief. If that which
he transmits can be presented in another
form it will tend to more intelligent atti
tude on the part of the public.
The extensive circulation of plays in book
form is a necessary part Of the development
of the theatre as a medium of art. Aside
from the classics of literature which hap
pened to be cast in dramatic form, America
has only recently begun to read plays. The
new interest in them is good for audience,
actor and dramatist, since 1t tends to the
habit of discrimination, to the forming of
standards of taste.
Cyril Maude, the English actor once told
me he thought all public school children
should be taught writing in dramatic-or at
least dialogue-form. This would not make
dramatists of us alive are that anyway
but it would make more intelligent play
goers, besides being excellent training in the
art of conversational expression. And now

them were afterward brilliant judges. They
all had their carriages, the fruits Of their
prosperity"
He paused for a moment and looked about
lis room at the luxuries of the mind-books,
pictures. "All the barristers in that group"
he continued, with one exception, died
many years ago The last one died three
years ago. And 1 am still alive. If l had
been a successful barrister l am quite sure
! should not be alive now"
Although Mr.. Yeats tells you his years
are many that he has gone far past the
age that so many consider old, there is a
buoyancy, a gayety, a vigor about him that
makes you discredit vital statistics and
totally abandon age from your vocabulary.
"It is the wish to live that has done it,"
he went on. Had l remained a barrister
/ should not have had that wish 1 might
have become very rich, very prosperous but
I might not have had the joy in living that

When I asked him if he ever thought Of
going back to Ireland, he glanced about the
room and then cried:
"Oh! Why will you ask such a question?
What in the devil could 1 do with all these
things-the books and everything here-if
1 left?"
The whimsical despair was characteristic.
But one could not help wonde ing il the

referred sadly in their regret over some gaps

The characteristic of the American group
is it's youthful tone-whether the key be
that of comedy of tragedy. 1t is the
drama of experiment, of intellectual adven-
