Harper.
Watching the play run gamely
through its three acts, head down,
foam blowing and flecking back to
the withers, was like watching
horse insist for some stubborn
reason of its own on finishing, even
though the park is closed up and
the customers have gone home and
there's nothing left but cold wind
and fellows spearing torn-up mutuel
tickets and a couple of reporters
wrestling with overnight leads.
What is meant is that the play was
a flop and its performance was
futile.
Well. now, every time horse is
entered in race somebody, the one
who puts down the entry fee and so
forth. has some reason to think the
steed has chance to win. The
reason in The Romantic Mr.. Dick
ems" is an absolutely marvellous
heart rt-breaking little anecdote that
the authors dug up out of private
history and then promptly buried
under words.
A Painful Shock.
The anecdote emerges in the Sec
ond act when Dickens has made a
big financial and literary success but
is very much discontended with his
love life and is raking up an old,
unhappy affair with new letters, let
tiers full of tender flame, too.
Eventually the girl comes calling.
She is no longer girl. She was
once all cream and light, fluffy
cake, but she has weathered the 20
intervening years like a charlotte
russo. and Dickens fails to keep from
her the fact that the sight Of her is
a painful shock to him.
So their meeting begins brutally
and then in piles Mrs. Dickens, spit
ting and scratching. for her man.
Well, poor Dora, she had always
been a little mercenary, and now
here she was, down on her luck
financially. the fellow she had
thrown away simply fat with money
that she might have had if she had
just said yes. and, on top of that,
getting a really bruising going-over
from the fellow himself and his
bad-tempered wife.
Quite naturally, Dora got tough
herself and in the only way she
knew hov-the mercenary way. She
said she was going to publish the
love letters and make some much
needed money for herself It was
very distressing to hear and showed

lust how venomous life had been
for the lovely little charlotte russo
of 20 years ago.
The Years Fall Away.
At this moment Mrs. Dickens
pulled her trump card. The trump
card was the letters her husband
had written to Dora. She had got
hold of them and was quite nasty
about waving them in Dora's face
and then handing them over to her
husband. The whole thing was most
unpleasant, but both ladies had their
gloves off and we're throwing words
they picked up off the floor and,
anyway, Mrs. Dickens was fighting
to keep her husband and wanted to
show just how much she could do to
help him.
Dickens took the letters from his
wife, walked quietly over to Dora
and handed them to her.
THE scandal will ruin you," cried
Mrs. Dickens.
These letters belong to Dora" ,"
he said. Il wrote them to her"
Dora stood there a moment in
silence, taking in the meaning of
the event. The meaning sank deep
into her. 1t touched the romantic,
fluffy girl she had been and
awakened that, and the 20 years
fell away, also all the callouses of
them, and she could see what she
had been and what she had become.
She began to cry, and ran out of the
house crying.
Of course, it was plain she would
never publish the letters after that.
She simply couldn't. And, as mat
ter of fact. she never did. Mr.. and
Mrs. Harper had to dig the letters
out of private papers.
They Fare Badly.
This anecdote is slender for play
and the authors have squeezed it
in, breaking the edges and twisting
it out of shape, among welter Of
other anecdotes, most of them of
little interest. That is one of the
troubles with the play. Another is
that the authors can't write or get
over the footlights the meaning of
what they do write. And finally.
they make absolutely no contribu-
ton to Dickens. either to under
standing him or appreciating his
work.
GeniuseS always seem, somehow,
to come off badly in plays. That
includes the famous "Barretts of
Wimpole Street." which made
Browning look like an enthusiastic
vendor of patent medicines and
Elizabeth Barrett like a wan pur-
chaser of same. AS a matter of
fact, geniuses don't do so hot in
novels either; and it's only in the
good biographies that they become
important as people.
The reason, l think, is that the
form of biography gives an author
the opportunity to bundle up and
illuminate the man and his work
while the play form does not In
the play form, only the man can be
dealt with and authors who have a
feeling for people are not going to
be bothered writing about such
cheesy cripples as geniuses ampu-
tated from their work.
The acting involved in The Ro-
mantle Mr.. Dickens" was par for
the play. Diana Barrymore. the
daughter of John Barrymore and
Michael Strange, came in out of the
society hideaWays to make her
Broadway debut in this play. The
girl is pretty and knows how to
stand and walk on a stage without
looking embarrassed. Also. she has
a firm voice But we'll have to see
her in a play before we can tell you
whether she knows how to act.
