THE genius by proclamation
Il is familiar institution in
the United States. In fact, I
think this may be the only ma
ton in the world whose
geniuSes are a matter of an
nouncenent, usually by ador-
ing friends though sometimes
in these days by paid press
agents.
Other nations let time be the
judge of genius. Fifty years.
One hundred years. Two
hundred. Here we call out
names of men and women as
geniuses in their life time.
This is mighty flattering to
them, but too often apt TO be
a gross eXaggeration.
I have frequently observed
what seemed to be organized
movements 10 establish living
persons as geniuses. The usual
method is constant repetition
of the statement of genius in
print or by word of mouth,
a saying over and over again,
He is a genius" and it is not
considered sporting to inter-
rupt monologue of this ma
ture of inquiring:
"Who says so:"
/ have noticed that dramatic
and literary critics often cam

lists and poets, but 1 attribute
this to a chatty disposition on

The dramatic and literary
critics are pretty smart chaps.
l am sure they know we have
not produced one playwright
whose work will stand the test
of 80 TO 100 years, and only

one poet. Walt Whitman. Who
