But this aroused interest, has stimu-

to set about getting the published

hoping THAT IN this way we may In

but that we may be able to have cer-

line Of the possibility Of arranging for

feel sure, in spite of many obvious diff

will have an important place upon the
French stage. The American film is
already eagerly enjoyed and it has
been one of the greatest forces in open

wide attention not only for It's achieve

An American company playing repsr-

vitality Of our drama. Perhaps this
also would tend to make disappear
from the French stage the idea that
all Americans are rich. In fact, it Il

iuSIlIuIiOu WHICH [el1cS on DoWllG
In Germany the revolutionary drama
which appeared Immediately after the
armistice gave promise Of vigorous
reaction against many Of the forces
which had made the war, and several
important plays were written and pro
duced-one of which the Theatcr Guild
has-but the hopeiessness Of the pres
ent political situation has brought
about sense of despair in which the
writers are now foundering The most
vital things there are, as before, the new
tendencies in production--Aex expressions
ISM" more than ever--and the deter
mined effort tosbreak with the rigid
ities of stage conventions. The depre-
citation of the mark has seriously af-
fected new productions, but certain in
teresting standards are maintained, be-
cause it is still possible for the Ger
mans to utilize their marvellous light
equipments. But French farcss seem
to be growing in favor in Berlin,
though Munich upholds its tradition as
stimulating producing center.
The German theatcr is not taxed as
is the French thcater. All the man
ayers in Parisand that is the French
theater--are feeling this handicap,
which has SO raised the prices of ad-
mission that only the big successes
pay. This has resulted in the man
ayers taking no chances on new men
and making ne experiments with new
producing methods. Here, too, the
safe repertoire is called upon, and.
fortunately for mel saw at least
thirty revivals Of old plays during two
years Of theater going.
In Paris there Is realization among
many critics, authors and producers
that the French theater needs TO opcn
itself more to the plays and produc-
tions Of other nations; and am happy
to say that even within two years
have found an increasing interest in
our American drama. Therc are few
stages open or given over to plays not
French, but the need Of SO doing as a
tonic is universally recognized there
by all real lovers of drama. have
been constantly surpriaed at the
Frenchman's surprise on learning that
we have q vital drama developing out
of our own native life. The impression
has long been prevalent which was
once true--that VIE were nation OF
dramatic adapters draping our vocab-
ulary upon the skeletons Europe cup
Piled. Though we still welcome the
hest they have to offera1d some
times the worat-we nevertheless
have q drama, with all Che crudities Of
guilt, which represents our own life
much more than the present French
drama represents French life. And .
drama to be vital must flavor from its
own soil. France permits herself to
be inisrepresented BY her boulevard
comedies which are far removed from
the real spirit Of her life. s
The French. too, have misjudged our
life, because, with very few exceptions,
the enly plays Of ours which have had
the slightest vogue Ia Paris have been
our farces and police plays. These.
in their essence, are exaggcrations.
