This was the philosophy ~ the
much discussed play entitled THE
World We Live ln," produced by
william A. Brady and watched
with crescendo interest by fas-
cinated audience.
As the curious affair started
with ir.s-tinted curtains and
collection Of f3ntastiCally arrayed
men and women fluttering all over
the stage and making strange, in.
seCty noises, ! imagined that per
haps Josef and Karel Capsk were
going to peter out as CzeCho.Slo-
vakian "foll,es." and let il go at
that. But the scene with the hut.
terflies WAS merely preliminary
"A disappointing preliminary
and the following episodes were

precision wcirdly enough

tion, and dec c'dsdly unusual.

note was assigned to the Nasrant.

the antics Of the insects, Cpm Da"ed
these with the almost similar
antics OF men and grew slightly

grant saw IN the pursuits OF all
the curious types set forth m the
play the very same traits that ne
perceived in his own species.
There were the CriCkets proving
upon lower types for the preserva-
ton Of their own lives: there was
the ichneumon flv prcying upon
the crickets for the same rea son;
there were the beetles making their

insects lived their small lives as
we live ours. They murdered. and
they stole. and they purloined.
and they ate themselves full. and
they were born and they died

She is, / repeat. playing fair.
But the woman whom | have

is the parasite type. She won't
have children. She travels so
much that if she ever had an in

a house-party or on an ocean liner.
She won't stay in her home long
enough to make it a real one. She

Is impatient with him because he

the young Spanish American hero
in THE Pride Of Palomar." Stan
