(By Louis Kantor.)


Once more is Eugene ONeill the cen
tire of a dramatic storm. This time 1t
is about play not yet produced
Gods Chillun Got Wings '-whlcn
deals with the marriage of white wo-
man to a Negro. This is not the first
time O'Neill has stirred up tempest.
His Emperor Jones' and his Hairy
Ape" brought about long and heated
debate.
What sort of person is this play
wright who, like Shaw, has this extra
ordinary faculty for provoking contro-
versy? What is his conception OF the
theatre? The answers to these ques-
tions l sought recently from him at
his homo in Ridgefield, Conn.
OINeill is popularity regarded as
Americas poet laureate of gloom, and
the belief is held that he is sick man
Tin the romantic Robert Louis Steven
son tradition;) a hermit, an advocate
of revolution, misanthrope, pessl-
mist-a man, in fine, probably unable
to smile.
Well, it's all nonsense. He's not sick
nor a conscious advocate Of anything.
He's just interested in the progress OF
humanity toward humanity" Cine
distinction is in the sizes Of the 'h.D
Spiritually, of course, he's a hermit,
as is any man of spirit; but he loves
life with Dionysian madness. Any
one who has seen him drive his frail
white and red kyak "a canoe especial

loves life and is constantly affirming
it
He likes and is interested in people,
and people like him; his friends-boot'
leggers, buns, literary persons, socie-
ty folk, prize fighters, even actors

being. He prefers quiet, needs it for
his work. He works intensively, eight

or ten hours day, for months at a
STRICKLAND when he is free of the pen
Gil and typewriter no hobo could crltl
eize him for breaking the rules OF lazl
ness. O'Neill doesn't pretend to be j
business man, but he likes to earn
money and feels that his work is as I'M
portant to the community as turning
out Fords. He likes to dancee, and
doesn't so badly. He smiles at least
once a day, and have even seen him
eat candy.
The key to O'Neill is found in his
belief that the theatre should be useu
for the presentation of the struggle for
existence-man's elations conquest,
sorrows, defeats, joys, doubts-and
that his job as dramatist is to express
his vision of that struggle, without
compromise to any prejudice using all
the means at his disposal in the theatre
This conception is made clear in his
dicussion Of the new play. Hardly
had it been announced for prese1ta-
tion at the Provincetown Playhouse
an experimental theatre when the
storm broke. These were the objections
set down against it: that in it O'Neill
advocates, or at least encourages, inter
marriage; that in casting Paul Robe
son, Negro actor, for the part of Jim
Harris so that Ella, his white wife, has
to kiss his hand, O'Neill has not consid-
cred the deep-rooted prejudice the pub
lie has against such situation; that
he is encouraging Negroes to aspire
above their station in life.
81 don't admit" OINeill said, 'ythat
there is a genuine prejudice against my
play. Judging by the criticism it is
easy to see that the attacks are almost
entirely based on ignorance of Gods
Chillun.' I admit that there is preju-
dice against the intermarriage OF
whites and blacks, but what has that
to do with my play? I don't advocate
intermarriage in it. I am never the
advocate of anything in any play-ex-
cept Humanity toward Humanity"
1t was pointed out to Mr.. O'Neill
that the objections to Goods Chillun y
ignorant or not, indicated it was felt
that some things might not be done in
the theatre; that the dramatist had at

posed a walk on his estate, acres OF
fields woods, streams, a small lake,
one rooster (private property of Shane
O'Neill,) two dogs, an Irish terrier
named Mat Burke after the swagger-
ing hero Of "Anna Christie" and Finn
huge wolfhound.
IT chose Robson" he said, because
1 thought he could play Jim Harris bet
ter than any one else. And what's
been said about having white actor
for the parc is beside the point. don't
believe it follows that a white actor
could play the part Of Jim any better

reactions to them which makes of him
a special case.
NOT A SYMBOLICAL CHARACTER.
"The persons who havee attacked my
play have given the impression that l
make Jim Harris a symbolical repre-
sentative Of his race and Ella of the
white race-that by uniting them l
urge intermarriage. Now Jim and Ella
are special cases and represent no one
but themselves.
"Of course, the struggle between
them is primarily the result Of the dill
ference in their racial heritage. 1t is
their characters, the gap between them
and their struggle to bridge it which
interests me as a dramatist, nothing
else. I didn't create the gap, this cleav
age-it exists. And members of both
races do struggle bridge it with love.
Whether they should or not isn't my
play"
Mr.. O'Neill went on to speak of how
bored he had become with praise for
things he had not done or said and Of
being attacked for things he did not
believe.
"Why," he demanded, twas I made
an apostle of revolution by the I. w. w
and proper timber for the Republican
Party by conservatives as a mocker of
the I. W. w. when my Hairy Ape was
produced?
Richmond planet. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1883-1938, 1924-05-17

least to consider, if not accept, the
community's social code, that If the
community didn't like the notion OF a
black man and white woman married
on the stage the dramatist should not
present such play.
PLAYWRIGHT'S VIEW OF
DISCUSSION
His reply was that he didn't think
rhe whole discussion would have arisen
had he chosen a white actor for the
part of Jim Harris; in any event, the
dramatist was governed by his vision
and not the community's social code;
and what the DIRECTORS seemed to for
get was that the play wasn't being off
cred for public consumption, but to a
special public, subscribers of the Prov
incetown Theatre, not one OF whom
had objected either to the play or to
the casting of Negro.
"The prejudice" he thought us pr
marily economic and social. 1t is the
fresh result of the same resentment
which Paris audience would have
against play in which German and
Frenchwoman were married; or the
resentment in many parts of the world
against intermarriage of Jews and Gen
tiles. Then consider the resentment
against intermarriage in our own Far
West between Chinese or Japanese anu
whites; or in India the anger aroused
by the marriage Of a Britisher to a
Hindu"
"But, don't you think there is DIFF
ference? Isn't the white race superior
to the black?"
Spiritually" he replied, spiritual
ly speaking, there is no superiority be
tween races, any race. We're just lit
tie ahead mentally as race, though
not as individuals.
"But," Mr.. OTNeill continued, Give
no desire to play the exhorter in any
racial no-man's land. am dramatist
To me every human being is special
cases with his or her own special set OF
values. True, often those values are
just a variant of values shared in com
mon by great group Of people. But it

BLAME MADMAN
FOR FIRE THAT
CLAIMS 6 LIVES
by United Press Leased Wire

NEW YORK, Dee. l6.-Six per.
sons perished today when flames of
suspicious origin swept through a
Harlem tencmeE. house near he Mt.
Sinai Hospital.
Survivors of ten families were
driven 10 the streets in zero wealth
er. Patients in the hospital, alarm
ed by the glarc of the fire we're
quieted by prompt action of nurses
and doctors.
Fol'y four occupants escaped from
the burning tenement, while two
firemen nearly lost their lives of-
fectng rescues in the rear of the
building. Added suspicion that the
fire originated with a pyromaniac
was | mt by the rapidity with which
the flames first swept through the
front of the tenement.
The location of the disastrous
blaze is that part of Harlem known
AS the "pyromaniae district. . A
madman, who sets fire to baby ear
riagr, was responsible for loss of
4 score of lives in the neighbo:hood
a year or so ago. Only ore Of the
six victims was identified.
