ters unpleasant, and that he person
ally loved every one of them. But
the fact that the audience hated
every one of them, Mr.. Hamilton
thinks, accounts for its lack of sue
cess at the box office. To the re-
viewer a better reason seems to be
the entire lack of love interest-and
even an entire lack, as the editor
points out-of sex consciousness.
The failure of this great play thun-
ders louder than Shaw at the pre-
occupation of English speaking audi
ences with love patter and sex charm.
Also disappointing at the box office
was Mid Channel" 1t was only
more successful in America than in
England because the actress made
the part more pleasing and lovable
than the lines permitted. Pinero
considers it his best play. but the
reviewer agrees with Mr.. Hamilton
that its intensive artistry is consider
ably less. Though it deals with a
theme which should be Of vital inter
est to every playgoer and its char
acters are more recognizably in our
own lives than is usual with Pinero,
this did not save it from the oblivion
which falls to most of our plays that
mean anything. Mr.. Hamilton thinks
that the elaborate '.echo-system" of
this play-that is, the establishment
of a meticulous nicely of dovetail-
ing-is one of the greatest features
of its art. To the reviewer this seems
overdone and clockworky-even to
the point of almost justifying the
against the well made play" in
spite of a delineation of character
to which they have never aspired.
These two magnificent failures

plation of the tragic fate of the

The book is book with a mes

courage are worth fighting for and
that the brave die but once is what

THE SOCIAL PLAYS OF ARTHUR
WING PINERO. Edited by Clayton
Hamilton. e. p. Dutton & Co.
"O this beautifully printed vol
ume Mr.. Hamilton contributes
an Introductory essay. In
the Social plays" which he has
selected out of the forty-eight plays
with which Pinero has ornamented
our stage, the editor says that the
problems of society are never allowed
to get into the foreground as in
propaganda plays. Pinero is not
primarily concerned with an extra
theatrical endeavor to solve ques-
tons, but conceives play as an ex-
hibition of character in action upon
a groundwork of the present day
social fabric, as did Ibsen. It was
in 1898 that he initiated the modern
English drama with 1.-The Second
Mrs. Tanqueray," and the two plays
of the present volume were written
in 1908 and 1909. These he regards
the two greatest plays of British
authorship in the twentieth century.
He concludes with a review of the
plays written since the production
of Mid Channel"
1.-The Thunderholt,' says Mr..
Hamilton, sis the story of family as
collective social entity-a group of
people unallied in temperament and
character, thrown together in an
artificial intimacy. The subject
matter is trite. but the emphasis is
shifted from il to the delineation of
the nature of provincial family and
of the sordidness which seethes to
the surface of ordinary natures at
the prospect of inheriting wealth"

NEWSW RITING.

''Our day does not seem to be blessed
with as vivid newswriting as New
York OF 20 years ago. Great reporters
are dying, or getting tired, or rich.
and the new ones are not coming
along" writes Haywood Broun. who
was himself first-class reporter, but
who has now attained distinction as
critic OF literature and the drama.
Mr.. Broun's opinion is shared by
every old reporter who has had as
much, as 90 years experience.
There is not the brilliarce in news
paper writing of today that there was
even 10 years ago. Men lack the dash
and fire, the spirit of human under
standing and the ability to go straight
to the heart and mind OF the reader
that they had 20 years ago. Mr.. Broun
repeats the plausible explanation of
the decadence of first-class newswrit-
ing, usually accepted by men of the
profession. as to the cause Of literary
decadence in the news columns of
American newspapers. He says: "a
little Of this decadence may be due
TO the fact that the ethics of journal
ism are rising. Papers are more moral
and less interesting. Every editor
watches so closely to suppress opinion
and bias In the news columns that
personality is just a little bit dead
ened.'
In short, journalism is suffering
from an evil of American life--the
suppression of individuality. No man
can do his best writing unless his
mind and his pen are untrammeled
He can never be completely engaging
unless he Is permitted to put his per-
sonality in his writings. These days
| the very best of the reporters be-
come special writer's who sign then
