The opposition to the presence of dele

pecially M. Theunys for Belgium, placed
themselves in opposition to the German

representatives of the smaller countries
which fought with the allies were ex-

Premiers Facta and Lloyd George and
Minister Schanzer maintained it would
be impossible not to permit the Russians
and Germans to be represented on the
commission which was TO deal chiefly
with problems affecting Germany and
Russia. They argued that all were in
agreement that the cooperation of Russia
and Germany was indispensable to the
reconstruction of Europe.
The discussion became so heated that
Mr.. Lloyd George declared emphatically
that if such an intranigeant spirit was
going to prevail it might be well imme-

principal object of which was to readmit
Russia and Germany to the European
family.

If he is wise, he is content to
stick to his craft and leave the task oi
analysis in ADLER hands. There is no
dearth of able-or at any rate of will
highlands. The theater of to-day does
not suffer from lack of publicity. BY
the day, week, month and quarter it is
exposed to the public gaze in attitudes
of varying degrees of decency. 1t is
discussed in terms of histrionism, social
ethics. technology, aesthetics, finance
and pure scandal.
And yet, to the playwright the forest
seems to be, somewhat obscured by the
trees. 1t is difficult (for the play
wright) to escape the conviction that i'm
any theatrical situation the play is the
central fact. 1t is not that the art OF
the actor and the art of the technician
are receiving undeseryed attention, but
rather that the splendors of the new
era of stage production sometimes
<n.akes us lose sight of what is hap

Unless I am very far wrong, dramatic
technic is undergoing a profound
change-is in fact in process of revo-
luton. Just what the ultimate effect
Of the revolution will be it is difficult
to foresee. In fact 1t would be rash
to be prophecy upon what must seem
to the lay theatregoer very scanty evil

But for a. long time some of us have
felt-vaguely at first, then with In
creasing definiteness-the limitations OF
the current dramatic convention, that Is
to say the realistic Cor naturalistic)
technic created. or at any rate vitaIized,
by Ibsen and brought to perfection by
Hauptmann and Galsworthy. This
method is of course, too familiar to
require exposition or analysis. 1t is.
in a word the dramatic representation
of ordinary Cor extraordinary objec.
tive experience, intensified and selected.
to be sure. but having always the pat
tern of reality" And to a generation
OF theatergoers accustomed to it, this
idioIn must seem not only satisfying
but inevitable.
But of course nothing is inevita BILE.
