ner of Victor Hugo and Theophile
Gautier," wrote Bernard Shaw. "And
as the conqueror always acquires some
of the qualities of the conquered. even
now that he no longer eats him, there
is a touch Of the east In Vienna, not
only brought by the winds along the
Danube. but left by Sobieski when he
drove the Turk back from the gates.
Add to this that Vienna has never
weaned itself from the sweet milk of
eighteenth century art, when even woe
was a luxury, and the heroine could
not die in gloom too deep to please the
audience.
E'When natural history sometimes
ambiguousiy called realism) is banished
from the theater, cruelty, horror and
death become painless there and even
them. The most frightful torinef1ts may
be heaped on the heroine until she
dies Of poison or a broken heart; the
william may. like the wicked count in
II Trovatore,' live only to 'centuplicar
la morte' of the hero in mile atrosse
spasimi." and the hero himself may not
know a moment of happiness or Sc
curity until misfortune dogs him to
his death; yet no one will turn hair;
the more dreadful it all Is the better
it is liked, because romance can never
come home to reality. To preserve this
delicious anethesia there must be no
bringing down to earth Of the business
by the disillusioning touch of comedy.

! italian opera, and is not tolerated with
out the music. The Anglo-Arrerican
audience wants a happy ending, be-
cause II wants q credible ending, and
therefore cannot bear an utterly un-
happy one. 1t Is true, as the late st.
John Hankin pointed out and illustrated
by his Plays with Happy Endings,' that
the conventional happy ending is often
as unhappy and disastrous as the mar
riages which foolish magistrates and
police court missionaries force on young
people who have been no better than
they ought to be.
But the fact remains that in pro-
portion a play succeeds in pro-
ducing an illusion of real life it must
dispense with the frantic agonies and
despairs and poisonings and butcher
les of the romantic theater. Conse-
Quently. if you take a play written
under the tyranny of a romantic au-
dience and present it without modi-
fication to a comparatively matter-of-
fact audience. it will miss its mark,
and may even miss fire altogether
ITO avert this result in the case
of Frau Gittas Suhne' I have taken
advantage of the fortunate circum-
stances that in real life the conse-
quences Of conjugal inffdelity are sell
dom either so serious as they are
assumed to be in romantic tragedy
or so trivial as in farcical comedy. l
may as well confess at once that,
though in the original play Jitta lives
miserably ever afterward and her
husband hardly escapes for a moment
from the strictest Spanish tradition
of Jealousy as cruel as the grave, 1
have permitted myself to suggest, by
q few slight touches. that they may

bearable after all
