aware of Bentley. Such arrogant
irreverence had the immediate
and dramatic effect of sending
veritable posse of reviewers in
search of Bentley's birth certifl-
cate. They found him to be a
buoyant 20, vigorous and proper
age for tossing onto his pile of
rejects such tired stalwarts of the
American theater as Oscar Ham
merstein III, Maxwell Anderson,
Robert Sherwood, Elmer Rice, S.
N. Behrman and al score of others.
These, Bentley found in his
survey of the dramatist as
thinker, were not even 'promis-
ing" but rather pitiable per-
formers long ago enslaved by
that inexorable tyrant, the box
office.
Naturally, writing under such
a positive title as 1.-THE Play
wright as Thinker" it is not
enough to brush off the whole
contemporary lot as nonthinkers.
The man who wants to write
a book must have more material
than that. Accordingly, Bent
ley turns for contrast, and for
the bulk of his books content, to
some of the 18th century's giants.
With sharp and happy sense
of the odiousness ofshis compari-
sons, he looks into the works of
IbSen, Shaw, Pirandello, Brecht
and Wagner, and finds in them
what is missing in the present.
day group.

There's Hope
By the BusheI

One of the more interesting
commentaries on Hope as author
is that implied in the circum-
stance that he hires writers by
the bushel to provide him with
radio and screen material, also by
the bushel. In the obituary no
t1ceS that must come eventually
to Hope and his writer's, as to all
men, the comedian alone among
the group will be mentioned as
an author. The others will achieve
the transition from ghost" to
ghost as if death were, in honest
analysis, no worse a fate for them
than life.
There was one off-standard
contribution to the. years drama
bookshelf which created meas
ure of attention well above the
usual force of such things.
That was Eric Bentley's critical
volume, THE Playwright as
Thinker" Mr.. Bentley, an in
Structor at the University of Min
nesota, is a scathing young man.
What he thinks of the playwright
as thinker is well below zero, a
sentiment most ruthlessly ex-
pressed III his classification of
O'Neill as promising"
THIS Bentley estimate of
ONeill, even by those who have
remained skeptical of the latter's
right to glory, was at least ideally
calculated TO make every one

Magrit, grows into a symbol of
those qualities, the courage of
the poor and the vitality of those
pure of heart, in which Falk-
berget puts his hope for the fu-

The centenary of the death of
OF Henrik Wergeland, our great

by books on him and reprints of

what the Norwegian art of book

1t may amuse American read
ers that the craving for light
reading has been satisfied by the
collected works of-among 9TH

made a tremendous hit over

thinking unhappily about the
thinking capacities of more NOR
tai men, Bentley transcends the
immediate limits of his theme to
make his volume work of social
commentary.
Whether one agrees with him,
or disagreeS, The Playwright as

read listlessly, a quality In
structor Bentley most clearly had
in mind.
Most Exciting
Drama Volume
AS the seasons most exciting
drama volume, "The Iceman
Cometh" evoked such torrents of
comment that virtually nothing
remains to be said of it.
There is one aspect of the
plays impact, however, that
seems to have received less at
tention than it deserves. The
one best qualified to give it the
particular attention is O'Neill. In
view of the challenge which his
play has inspired, he might we'll
ask many of his critics how much
they believe in freedom of speech.
Certainly he has many reasons to
doubt that they really do believe

The Nobel, and three-time
Pulitzer, prize winner this year
exceeded the best of his past
performances when Random
House published his THE Ice
man Cometh" in october.
This drama of O'Neill's achieve
ment lies outside the merit, or
demerits, of his play AS a pub
fishing sensation, it is to be
found in the circumstance that
O'Neill broke 12-year silence
When the universally recog-
nized Olympian among drama
lists defers comment upon man
and his affairs during the IL
most exciting years of human
history, he has merely to rise to
bring his audience to the edge
of its chairs. That is why there
was no other event lin the whole
field of publishing to compare
in dramatic impact with O'Neill's
latest words on contemporary
mankind.
There may have been finer,
more lucid. more significant and
useful contributions in the field
of letters. More widely read
commentators may be able to
cite full dozen, or more, of such.
But cne need have read little
beyond the book and drama
critics, and the editorial writer's,
to appreciate the sensat tion rep
resented in "The Iceman
Cometh."
Over a period of 20 years,
Q'Neill has evoked more consid-
Grafton and comment than any
other American writer. But never
has there been such a tidal wave
as the one of 1916.
Drama Books Followed
Conventional Pattern
Otherwise, the flow of drama
literature followed the conven-
tional pattern. The critics COL
lected their columns into the
annual anthologies. George Jean
Nathan offered his "Theater
Book of the Year." the story of
his first nights and his frustra-
tions. John Mason Brown added
up his weekly columns in the
Saturday Review of Literature
into volume, Seeing Things"
which gave play reviewing the
sound of lively and enviable
profession.
Beyond these, there were an
thologies of American plays,
Russian plays, one-act plays,
best" movies, and, the usual
assortment of miscellany. Either
because they were at work, in
stead of at liberty, or because pub
fishers have become more wary,
there was dearth Of public ex-
posure of their private lives on
the part of famous players who
might otherwise have concluded
the time was ripe for their auto
biographies. There were remark
ably few of these, which the
cynical are hailing. at years end,
as one of the healthier signs in
1t is true. of course. that the
prolific Robert, Bob, Hope COL
ected again some of his smart
est, rapid-flre variations of Joe
Miller's joke book, into volume
called so This is Peace" The
with the Gatling-gun
delivery has a tremendous radio
md movie audience, enough of
t literate to raise Hope to best
seller lists any time he is seized
oy the whim to do another
book.

Vote To Retain Excise Taxes

WASHINGTON, By a unani- nous vote the House ways and means committee today approved legislation continuing indefinitely the wartime tax rates on liquor, jewelry, furs, and many other goods and services.
 Chairman Knutson R.-MinnD announced that another bill will be introduced continuing the war time postal rates which raised the local mailing charge from two to three cents and boosted mailing costs in some other categorieS.
 Under Republican domination for the first time in l6 years, the tax framing committee followed President Truman'S recommenda- ton that the automatic rollback of excise taxes, scheduled for July I, be headed off so that the gov ernment would get an estimated $1,l30, 0,000,000 from this source in the next fiscal year.
 Although the committee took no formal action on the postal rates, Knutson indicated that legislation continuing the higher rates would get quick approval. This also was recommended by MT. Truman and is expected to yield an estim- ated $65,O0O,OOO a year.
 Knutson told reporters he ex- poets the House to pass the con- tinuation bill early next week.
