No oversight. Just didn't like
the Theater Guild pets in
"Amphitryon," nor was I en-
chanted over the playwright's
treatment of the ancient fable.
The fact that I saw the same
subject handled with greater
skill in a screen version, with
lyrical subtitles and an enchant-
ing musical score, may have in
fluenced me against the LuntS'
production. Yes, know it did.
There are many who feel that
anything the Lunts do must be
good, but l am not among them.

it's a gloomy and obtuse adven-

three times in ten), but who has
aptly explained the why" of
drama criticism in these words:
"As a critic, it has never been
my aim nor purpose to convince
anyone, including myself. My
sole effort has been to express
perSO opinions grounded
upon such training and expert
ence and the philosophy de.

to wish to convince anyone fl.
nally in matters that, at their
very best, are in all probability
of dubious truth. l please
myself to believe that the critic
who has another aim is a vain
glorious and often absurd fig
ure.
"One is a good critic to the
degree that one is able to an
Swer vacillating and quibbling
doubt with determined and per.
Suasively positive doubt. Criti.
cism is the prevailing of intel
igent skepticiSm over vague and

tainty. 1t answers no riddle;
1t merely poses as an oppug.
nant and contradictory riddle.
When the critic ceases to have
self-doubts, he ceases to be a
critic and becomes a peda-
gogue."
