to be convincing. Or he could be
calm and collected and unimpassioned
and lose the violent dramatic power
inherent in his plea. In his quandary
he inclined somewhat to the second
method, with the result that his play
fails in its most important mission,
which is to frighten people and make
them fighting mad at the possibility
of Fascism in America.
1t is not that the dramatized "It
Can't Happen Here" is by any means
botch. The Broadway production,
presumably the cream of the crop, is
no masterpiece Of stage direction or
stage writing, but it does have an in
termittent but growing power that
ends by being fairly impressive. 1t is
almost undeniable, though, that the
work lacks the overwhelming dramatic
force that 1t should have possessed.
For this lack there are several pos
sible explanations. In the first place,
the very form of the novel Is more
suitable to the cinema than to the
stage, and you are always aware,
when watching the action of the play,
what tremendous motion picture
could have been made of it If the
Hollywood social and economic set-up
had made possible an adequate pro-
duction. The second, and more fire.
quent, complaint is that Mr.. Lewis
and his collaboration, John C. Moffatt,
were such inexpert playwrights that
their drama was clumsy and without
dexterity. In other words, their play
was not good play technically. 1t
should be remembered, though, that
1T Can't Happen Here" was not
technically a good novel, either; that
judged from purely esthetic view-
point, it was probably the weakest of
Mr.. Lewis works. It happened, how
ever, that the book was filled with a
fine and flaming indignation, which
made the technical defects seem
trivial and left one remembering only
the convincing fury Of the propa-
gandist outburst. It seems to me that
if that same fury had gone into the
play the effect would have been thrill
ing and impressive.
MY COMPLAINT about the work,
I should repeat, is that it didn't
scare people enough. The test Of the
dramatization, as it was the test OF
the novel, was whether it filled its
audience with loathing for fascism
with an understanding of its posi-
bility in the United States and with
a determination to fight it unendingly.
The book, I think, met the test sue
cessfully. while the play only reaches
a passing mark from time to time. At
least it is certain that the drama
didn't scare the New York play re-
viewers. It appeared on the opening
night that some members of the
audience did find Mr.. Lewis message
pretty convincing, but the reviewers
certainly weren't frightened. In fact,
