When people have advanced 10
the point where they have attain.
ed culture, they resent melodramd,
and in point OF fact the only thing
that interests people in melodrama
is the unusual. This, too, is the
chief difference between the people
in the provinces and those of Now

usual things happen.

over an initial proposition so much
the better, but the purpose OF

and here presentation contrasts
with the phrase you constantly see
in the newspapers, plays for the
library, which means to be read.
A play ought not be called a play
unless 1t Is to be played,
"Seuious things must be put
over In a clever or a humorous
way to reach and grip audiences.
The trick Of dialogue is 10 send
the story along in terms or

themselves, which Is only another
way OF saying that the dramatic
