is rarely met with in the most advanced

GEORG BRANDES IN LIFE AND LET
TIERS BY Julius NIoritzen D. S. Col
yer. Newark. n. ].
KNUT HAMSUN BY Hanna Astrup Larsen.
Alfred "a Knopf.
A MEXICAN acquaintance with mod
~ ern Scandinavian literature has be-
come considerable but is still
rather scrappy. as the selections for trans
lation have been capricious Mr. Moritzen
performs useful service in his mono
graph in pointing out the very important
place of Brandes. not merely in relation
to the literature of his own land but as
an international critic and expositor. His
position is unique among writer's and
thinkers of the last sixty years or so, as an
interpreter of the nations to each other.
Mr. Moritzen's book is especially well in
spired in the space given to the important
works by Brandes that are not yet avail
able in English: in particular, his study
of Michael Angelo. The book is informa-
tive and explanatory rather than critical.
1t ought to whet the appetite of American
students and send them to Brandes's own
writings.
Hamsun has gained great deal of pub
licity, and has reached a wide audience
here, for some of his books, but compara-
lively little has appeared about the man
himself. This brief biographical and
analytical sketch is doubly welcome. as
presenting fresh material and because it
is very we'll done. 1t is more important
as Illuminating biography than as criti-
cism, but is also of value as an interpre-
tation of an alien type.

abroad the two collaborators saw some
sixty theatrical representations. Yet there
is only one name of the older guard to be
observed in the list of scenes they found
worth depicting in their book. Ernest
Rollers setting for the first act of Die
Meistersinger" is reproduced as an ex-
ample of Viennese stage art. Rollo is no
newcomer. yet there are no more beautiful
designs in the list i'm spite of what must
seem almost the conservatism of age in
his art
Reinhardt has disappeared to make way
for such new directors as Leopold Jessner.
Pirchan. Fehling. Sievert. Strohbach and

whose methods New York is already more
or~less familiar. None of the modern stage

the last quality that entered into his

Of mass effects. The modern German
drama is neurasthenic abnOrmally over
sexed in sentiment and in a high degree

Continental Stagecraft

CONTINENTAL STAGECRAF'T. BY Ken
meth Macgowan and Robert Edmond
Jones. Hareourt. Brace & Co.
" WO eminent authorities on the art
of the theater have united in pro-
ducing Continental Stagecraft."
Kenneth Macgowan has been an earnest
student of stage decorations ever since the
newest movements in that direction be-
came significant enough to deserve a rec
ord. and Robert Edmond Jones has been
possibly the most active figure in the
creation here of similar interest in what
the artist may do on the stage. Certainly
of all that the new stage art has shown
to New York he may just say quorum

of its melodramatic leanings. the play is
characterized by a vigorous imagination
and by a rare spirit of beauty.
Turning from the romantic to the real
istic plays. we may mention first of al
Galsworthy's "Loyalties," a drama that
has been receiving considerable attention
from theatrical audiences of late. 1t is
with something of disappointment that one
follows the dialogue of the play: it has
the stamp of mediocrity; it has neither the
broad social appeal of Justice" the sig
nificant irony of The Mob" nor the dy-
mamie clash of characters of Strife" 1t
begins like an ordinary detective drama;
it continues by showing the effect of clan
nishness and of false loyalties and II ends
in a tragedy that is by no means inevi-
table. On the subject of loyalties MI
Galsworthy has nothing to say that has
not been said more effectively by Royce
of dramatic effectiveness he has given us
nothing to compare with his earlier work
From Morn TO Midnight" by George
Kaiser, resembles "Loyalties" in that it
deals with the experiences of a thief or.
rather. of an embezzler; ii is designed to
do what no one. perhaps. has ever done
more skillfully than Dostoievsky-to show
the effects of the workings of conscience in
a criminal; and il aims to demonstrate the
proposition that You can buy nothing
worth having. even with all the money of
all the banks in the world" Though the
play is impressionistic in its method. the
dialogue has a philosophic tendency. and
the author has a monosyllabic staccato
style that tends TO be annoying
Another attempt to deal with the gnaw-
ings of conscience in an embezzler is to
be found in Guilty Souls" by Robert
Niehols-but though the play begins in
terestingly. it is dragged out interminably.
very pretentiously. and not very convinc-
ingly. One much prefers. for example
Goat Alley" by Ernest Howard Culbert-
son, tragedy of negro life. which. though
II deals with criminals yet is thoroughly
human and makes no pompous effort at
moralizing. The play which represents an
enlargement of a one act drama of the
same name. is written entertainingly and
convincingly; the dialogue impresses one
as real, and the characters have the breath
of life.
Another impressive tragedy is THE Sun
Chaser" by Jeanette Marks Here in mid
winter in small backwoods town. we see
a deluded and drunken man ardently chas-
ing the sun. lOking afar for the happiness

wife and small daughter he loves and yet
neglects Tragedy is also written in large
letters across the pages of East of Suez. ;"
the latest work of w. Somerset Vaughan.
AS the title implies the drama is an
Oriental one; the scene is Pekin the chief
male characters are Englishmen, and the
heroine is a beautiful halfbreed who makes
possible the conventional triangle plot by
falling ardentiy in love with her husbands
best friend. The story takes the somewhat
hectic course that such stories have habit
of taking and while always colorful and
interesting, it is never quite free from
melodrama from the end of the second
scene until the lurid elimination of the
seventh.
"Krindlesyke," by Wilfrid Wilson Glib
son. is another play whose background is
in blank verse it is the intensely realistic
tale of an old shepherd. his sons and their
wives; it is a rather disagreeable story of
cropping and narrow lives but is presented
with vividness that makes it impressive.
Much less successful is "The Verge by
Susan Glaspell. the story of a woman
reaching out for that which life does not
give her-a woman who expresses her
yearnings for higher things by insulting
and casting off her perfectly innocent
daughter and numbering her no less in
nocent lover. The jacket proclaims that
the play is fourth imensional'-perhaps
it is. for ii surpasses ordinary understand
ing.
To turn to Florence Nightingale" by
Edith Cuttings Reid. is to be confronted
with a much more pleasant piece of work.
This drama represents an attempt to il
illuminate some of the outstanding incidents
in the life of the famous war nurse; it
offers us intimate pictures of Florence
Nightingale. and ii embodies a love ele-
ment which. while not historically authen-
tic. is none the less interesting.
Last on the list. though by no means
least important. is Body and Soul" by
Arnold Bennett. play written with a
lighter touch than most of the realistic
works we have considered thus far. Mr..
Benefits forte is perhaps not the drama,
but he has achieved an amusing piece of
work i'm this farce of the bored and aristo-
cratic Lady Nab who allows herself to
be impersonated by young typewriter

trous to her pocket book and love affairs.
though beneficial to her reputation. Under
lying the play is vein of mild satire that
helps to lend interest to piece of work
that is above all entertaining.
