PRESENTS RIVALS
OF SHAKESPEARE
Six EIi.abethan Plays. edited by C.

Six Elixabethan Plays. edited by C.
B. Wheeler. (Oxford University
Press).
The mighty shadow of Shakespeare
has so obscured. some of his worthy
contemporaries that some special
thanks is due Mr.. Wheeler for his
revival Of works that in their day
were regarded as worthy rivals of the
Merchant of Venice and Romeo
and Juliet Though the names OF
BEAUMONT and Fletcher and Webster
are now unknown except to scholars
and their works as little read as the
Koran. 1t is not for lack of richness
and gayety in their work.
The plays selected by Mr.. Wheeler
for reprint make admirable and thrill
ing as well as scholarly reading.
Aside from their literary value. one
gains a sense that the Elizabethans
were masters Of stage craft and sus-
pense. In THE White Devil" by John
Webster. there Is a climactic interest
that defies the efforts of the reader
to lay-the play aside until the fate of
the hag ridden characters Is laid bare.
The Elizabethans represented in
clude Thomas Dekker. John Webster.
Philip Massinger. Francis Beaumont
and John Fletcher. The Beaumont
Fletcher combination is represented
by "Philaster." and THE knight of
the Burning Pestle." the former an
immediate hit of the period and the
latter. a total failure on It's first pro-
duction in 1909, and a great success
when revived In 1885. John Websters s
quality is shown in two tragedies
The White Devil" and THE, Duch-
ess Of Malfi." both of remarkable art.
touching on every chord of fear and
horror as their characters move to in
evitable and terrible catastrophe. A
lighter mood is reflected in the
"Shoemaker's Holiday" by Thomas
Dekker. which is enlivened nobly by
Breezy Simon Eyre. always merry as
a pie" The famous "A New Way to
Pay Old Debts" by Philip Massinger
-ounds out the volume.
The quaint and racy language Of
Elizabethan days runs free in these
old plays. And many a modern con-
dition is made to seem ancient After
noting progress on the bonus, it is
consoling to. read in "The White Devil.s
produced in ] sos: For Z have known
men who have come from serving
against the Turk, for three or four
months they have had pension to buy
