.AnRAHAM LINCoLNn

John Drinkwater's play. "Abra-
ham Lincoln" is the first Of many
plays written about the President to
achieve success. That success was
gained first in an alien cline. Eng
land, and then in Ldncoln's own
country. Lincoln has figured In
many plays, both in the spoken
drama and in motion pictures. In
Drinkwater's Abraham Lincoln"
he is the central character. and in
others he is brought in by inference.
but even where he figures Incident
ally in the unravelling OF some dra-
matte story his grip on human
imagination is made clear. Such
free use OF Lincoln by dramatists is
perhaps the best illustration that he
dealt in elemental things. Drama. to
be successful. must deal with ele-
mentals - TIE things which are a
part OF everyday life and which
everybody can understand.
Lincoln never had time for any
thing else. His principal reading. as
a youth, was the Bible, which is
crammed with character and action
the two prime factors in the
drama. He took a leading role In
one off the greatest dramatic chan
ters in world history. His pictur-
esque debates in the stirring prelude
TO that drama and the soul-sirrinp
climax at Ford's Theatre. all those
things have a sweep which would
have appealed irresistibly TO a
Shakespeare. II is not SURPRISING
then to find that no less than twenty
dramas with Lincoln as a LEADING
character were written and staged
before Mr.. Drinkwater brought nj.
