MR.. DICKENS GOES TO THE PLAY
by Alexander Woolcott.
"By employing an ingenious method
Mr.. Woolcott makes fresh presenta-
ton Of one phase of Dickens career
which seems to have received from
students less attention than it deserv-
ed, namely, his long-continued inted-
est in the theater. 1t will surprise
not a few admirers of Dickens, the
novelist to learn that at more than
one stage Of his career he figured as
disappointed and unsuccessful play
wright. Mr.. Woolcott has drawn upon
the letters of Dickens, as we'll as pas
sages from his novels and fugitive
writings and added to the assembled
material his own intelligent COM
ment."-Review of Review.
