that a drama without individualisa-

English Playwrights Now

LONDON. Sept. 1o-Shakespeare.
Shaw and Wilde are more popular
in Germany than any German
dramatists. Only a few modern
German plays have been able to
hold the stage for long. The most
successful were those of wedekind,
who died in 1917. wedekind is not
quite out of date even now. Haupt-
mann and Sudermann were popular
once, but their day is past, Suder-
mann's irrevocably so.
Future Of France.
The modern German drama begins
with Wedekind. He led the reac-
ton against the realism of Haupt-
mann. His work is full of eccen-
trio humor. social satire biting
cynicism. and downright beastliness.
His wit is very real and sometimes
even profund. His dramatic world
Is like world seen in a distorting
mirror. wedekind. has influenced
the whole German Expressionist
drama, of which Georg Kaiser is
now the leading exponent. Georg
Kaiser Is also a rebel agains. So
ciety. but he does not distort 1t to
a leering grimace. He is more
earnest than Wedekind, more SEN
timental and humanitarian. He Is
the poet of the big town. of tho
masses, and of the hurry and move
ment of modern life. None of his
characters is subtly individuaIised.

Oil Near St. FrancisvilIe.

1t is said that excitement is running
high in St. Francisville, West Felicl-
ana parish, as a result of the report
that Bear Cat Oil Well No. 2 which
is being drilled by the Twyman Oil
Company near that place, struck a
stratum of oil at depth of 220O feet
few days ago.
Harding Iwyman, reached New
Orleans last Saturday afternoon to
transact some business. He stated
there is every indication of oil. Bear
Cat No: l, which was drilled 100 feet
from the present derrick, was lost
through an accident. The first well
was drilled by the West Feliciana Oil
Company Of which Frank Percy is
president; the second well is being
drilled by the Twyman Oil Company
on the property of the above named
company. j. W. McGee, geologist of
Amarillo, Tex, who spent last week
at the well, returned to New Or
leans and will go back to the

has been reached. epresenta tives
