As in every good play, there are
hints of other plays or novels
scattered through its scenes. In
the village church veStry he comes
with a Renaissance of Jean VAL
jean TO find refuge with a priest,
whose love Of fellowman is the
supreme note of character. It is
the convict who diScloses supreme
moral courage and gives himself
up to the law, rather than tempt
his protector to risk too great in
jury to reputation, and even to
conscience in further endeavor 20
shield him.
There are passing hints of the
inexecrable cruelty Of fate shown
in the play John Ferguson.
There is in the scene that discov-
ers him under the bed Of a lady
a delicate remembrance OF such
comedy as was to be found in
'"The Chocolate Soldier" grim
comedy at best, yet affording
happy glimpSes into the variant
play of human impulse. 1t has
something of the inexorable touch
of the hand of sorrow that is re-
vealed in the book OF Job, but
has no such reward, in conclusion,
for faith and hope, as Is revealed
in the great scriptural poem.
E4hA
Escape" is most important TO
technical students Of the drama
because of the intelligent liberty
it takes in departing from ac-
cepted forms of any kind, telling
a merciIegs story of intense real
ism without sentimental palliation
or philosophical apology.
1t was thought that by this time
the "Abie's Irish Rose" market
must be In q state OF what COM
merce refers to as saturation. 1t
was urged, in seeking business,
that everybody should see this
play at least twice, and even three
or four times, on the same prin-
ciple that motor manufacturers,
with unasSaiIable logic, urge that
no home Is really complete with
out two or more automobiles.
It remained for Jed Shaw, who
lis welcomed from time to time as
representative OF winthrop Ames,
by friends he made in the past
through the National Theater
business Offices, TO bring TO this
cit" one play patron who could
accept the Rose" as a drama OF
novelty and surprises.
When Mr.. Shaw's daughter,
while visiting here, was asked
what play she wished TO see she
promptly mentioned the Anne
Nichols phenomenon.
But surely you have lost inter-
est in that work Of art by this
| timer"
II have never seen It," was her
reply. Then TO relieve the evi-
dent amazement she had caused,
added:
Il have been for seven years in
| China"
1t is interesting 10 know that
| there remains some territory on
the habitabIe globe not yet visited
by this remarkable creation.

Why She Wrote Ramona.

IELEN HUNT JACKSON'S story,
i u Ramona" Ii regarded as one OF
the present day American classics.
When Mrs. Jackson decided TO
write Ramona" she had a deliberate
purpose and as high an aim as that
associated in the writing OF Uncle
Toms Cabin" She did not realize
that her story would prove one OF
Americas most interesting romances.
IT was the writer's motive TO bring
the treatment toward the Indians by
the Americans before Congress In the
hope that Congress would enact just
laws. That was Mrs. Jackson's whole
desire.
Before Ramona" recalled the In
diang' plight in fiction form, she had
written "A Century OF Dishonor," In
which was an account of the United
States Governments dealing with the
Indian tribes that had widespread In
fiuenee Being plain, cold statement
OF facts, "A Century OF Dishon0r" was
really an indictment Of the Govern
ment for its failure 10 keep Its promise
with the Red Man from early times
down TO the date OF the publication Of
the book. 1880.
IL was later that Mrs. jackson be-
came convinced that public sympathy
ON behalf of the Mission Indians OF
Caiifornia could be awakened II re-
yealed In story form; hence her novel
with purpose" Ramona"
