Neither Shakespeare, Sheridan,
Shaw. Ibsen, Moliere, Brieux, nor
any other greatN dramatist, lived
to see three of his plays being
simultaneously performed, by all
star casts, in three different
theaters in one city. .Gerhart
Hauptmann, among al the great
playwrights, has had this honor
bestowed upon him by the gov
ernment Of his own country.
Last summer when the festival
in honor of the playwright's six
tieth, anniversary was held in
Breslau, the capital Of Haupt-
mann's native province Of Silesia.
three of his dramas were given
during the whole Of one week.
The sixtieth birthday is marked
IN America by the publication Of
Hauptmann's novel, Phantom, in
English translation. His appeal
rs a dramatist is attested by the
continued run Of Rose Bernd,"
in which Ethel Barrymore still
plays to large houses in New
