The gigantic human with SO much
muscle and so little brains that he
can never understand the why and
wherefore of life bungles through
every phase of existence but one until
death suddenly marches up to him in
the dark. He knows the life of the
sea-that is on the steam vessel. But
the rest of the world is so strange to
him that the firm earth makes him
nothing more than a square peg in
round hole. Then comes his end in
the choking embrace of the other
giant of bones and muscle-the big
gest ape in the zoo. Everybody may
not grasp the allegory but the or
iginality Of the theme will be refresh
ing to any theatergoer who is begin
ming to be full UP of the more or less
standardized fiction of the theater.
Bernard Shaw somewhat modestly
intimates in a recent preface that he
was the first playwright of the Brit
ish theater to let up on the three
cornered love affair as a topic. Be
that as Il may, one does feel with him
the same immunity from the familiar
situations that will be found in the
theater of ONeill. One knows so soon
as one knows the name OF the author
that this Is not to be a play about
the Governor who also had to pardon
the man convicted of political crime
IL he pardoned the young girl he loved
when she accidentally shot too ext
gent lover. Nor will the young girl
find il so, so difficult to intimate to
her guardian that 1t Is really he, mid
die aged as he may be, that she loves
rather than the snappy young lawyer
who has been courting her. Even in
his social plays O'Neill succeeded in
avoiding the usual banalities and
probably his success may be partly ex-
planned on that ground.
Comic Operas Farewell.
There seems no longer any ground
for doubt that operetta as a form Of
musical art has disappeared What
has taken it's place is probably much
more TO the taste OF the public to-
day. The comparatively simple ap-
paratus which used to be necessary to
put any of the works OF Offenbach
and later of Gilbert and Sullivan be-
fore the public would be altogether
ineffective to-day. Spectacle, extrava-
ganza. revue. or whatever you may
call IL, has taken the place of operetta
as IL was known when the works of
Strauss, Won Suppe and Milloecker
were coming from Vienna and Audran,
Offenbach and Lecocq were sending
their inspirations from the boule-
wards. They were very simple per-
formances in comparison with tho
prodigalty that seems to-day indis-
pensable to the blend of comedy and
music.
1t Is the success OF THE Rose OF
Stamboul," quite the most pretentious
product of this kind that even the
Century Theater has housed, which
suggests the complete departure of the
earlier kind of operetta. There Is, of
course, nothing i'm particular to re-
gret The music is there in all it's
original melody. Added to the num-
bers of the original score, which would
never have sufiiced for the elaborate
production at the Century, there are
appropriate interpretations written in
the same idiom. Then the music is un-
commonly we'll sung and a large or
chestra plays under an admirable con-
ductor. So what i'm the world can even
a critic find to worry about?
Really nothing, since THE Rose OF

riety to select from, it is doubtful
that the Theater Guild would have
enjoyed its high degree of apprecia-
ton from the public had not the in
depreciation of these dramas been
the most skilled There is then
value in a fixed policy when it in
sures the worth while plays well
done.
But Isn't the Play the Thing.
Granville Barker. who used to be a
dramatist and then what he called an
artist producer" has recently been
telling English audiences that the
foundation Of the whole art of the
theater is acting and nothing else.
These are strange words from the
man who came to New York a few
years ago to put before the public
performance of THE Midsummer
Nights Dream" in a way to indicate
that the actor was of very little i'm
portance in his plans. One can well
remember various striking details Of
that performance, but of the acting
there Is scarcely a scene that fingers
in the memory. or Mr.. Barkers ac-
tivity as an artist producer" how
ever, there was the most abundant
evidence
But the playwright has evidently
undergone a change of heart. Or VS. he
still a playwright? 1t is incredible
that any author should ever admit
that the actor is to be emphasized
when his own words are taken into
consideration. The author In nine
plays out of ten makes the actor
either what may be accounted good or
bad in the opinion of the audience.
There are, OF course, special cases in
which the particular skill of an actor
may add so much to what the author
has set down that the interpreter may
almost take on the stature of the
creator. Such examples of the actors
art are, however, rare.
1.-THE connection of the theater with
literature" Mr.. Barker said, "as with
music and all the other arts associated
with 1t. is fortuitous. The theater has
been treated as sort of Cinderella
sister to literature. Certain drama
lists had a craving for dignity and
respectabilty, which gave rise to snob-
bishness and the desire to be asso-
ciated with literary men. That to q
great extent divorced them from the
practical art of the theater. The sin
of the artist producer was even
greater. He placed everything in the
background except the absolutely
primitive appeal to the eye creating n
toy theater in which human beings
were the least important thing"
Mr.. Barker does not believe, how
ever, that many good actors exist.
Nor does he believe that they ever will
until the bad cease to be applauded as
enthusiastically as the good. He calls
the theater of the day a most prosper
Gus trade and q most drgraced art.
Eugene o'NeiIi's Themes.
Probably the themes which Eugene
O'Neill utilizes in his dramas have
more TO do with their popularity than
any other quality. The study of cow
rrdice incarnated in a negro brag-
CART fleeing from his savage enemies
through a semi-tropical thicket made

of those who saw Il because such u

LONDON is

London, Nov. 21.-Announcement of
the execution in Dublin of Erskine
Childers. leading lieutenant of Eamenn
do Valera. was received here shortly
after noon Friday.
Tt came as a surprise to England,
where il. was believed the Free State
authorities would hesitate to impose
this penalty.
The execution removes the most i'm
portant figure in the republican move
ment in Ireland next to Mr.. DE Valera,
with whom Childers, a man of strong
personality, is generally credited here
with having had strong influence.
To Childers is ascribed, perhaps,
the leading part in engineering the
present armed revolt against the Free
State government, and he was known
as the military strategist who plenned
the operation. 1t was to Chllders that
Winston Churchill. former colonial sec
as that mischievous. murderous rene
gade, that Englishman who is inspired
by a spirit of hatred"
The opinion has frequently been ex-
pressed in republican quarters that
fine Free State authorities could lay
| their hands on Eamonn de Valera as
they did on Childers, at any time they
desired. but that they did not wish to
! do so in view Of the possible after
math.
The question which immediately
| sprang into the minds of Londoners
interested in Irish affairs, when they
| heard the news of Childers' execution,
was whether the Irish republicans
| would attempt reprisals. but it was
thought unlikely that these would have
to be reckoned with.
The Dublin correspondent of the
! Press association notes that Eamonn
| de Valera recently made a threat that
blood would flow if Childers was exc
| cuted. The situation the next few
days is likely to be pregnant with
ugly possibilities, he adds.
Notification that he was to be exc
cuted Friday morning was not received
by Childers until 8 o'clock THURSDAY

Erskine Childers, a lieutenant in the

tribunal in Dublin on November IL on
the charge that he had a pistol in his
possession when arrested at Wlckiew
by free state forces on November 10.
The trial lasted two days. Childers,
