Ten minutes passed without results -

red. Finally he growled, What 's-a-matter,
son, lost your touch?" The lad was really
sweating now, and his lips were dry as he
replied. Guess I'm little rusty. Warden.

But Lawes was having none of that. He'd
evidently played what he thought was his

''What1l you need?"
The likely lad examined
the lock for a second, and
then turning to Miss Cowl,
said, Gould you lend me a
hairpin for a moment?"' Jane
produced the pin and a rapt
expression simultaneously,
while Lawes added an "atta

Lawes with the awful truth.
Whereupon he simply smiled and cheer

After all. he reminded her, they did have

Warden Lawes, as most
people know. was about so
years ahead of his time as a

his favorite remarks, which
he repeated over and over

a keen understanding of the

verSy to come, there will be what
the cliche calls areas of agree
ment.
On two aspect of O'Neill. the
judgment already has been
made and accepted. These are
that he was great and that he
was strange. How great and
how strange remain to be dis
puted by critics, large and small.
who will go searching through
the labyrinth of O'Neill's plays
and his life.
1t may be that one of these
will have the genius to under
stand the genius of the matinee
idols son who became Americas
sole world figure in the drama.
\ X **
The scope this task was out
lined as long ago Jas 1926 by
Stark Young, one of the critical
first rank, when he wrote of
"The Great God Brown" that:
81 felt a torment of spirit. a
cropping love of life, bitter pity
and goodness, a warm and cou-
rageous desire, that make me,
like so many other people in
America, wish Eugene O'Neill
well, wish that it may be granted
to him to fulfill his talent and
devotion. I admired the passion
for fresh and powerful dramatic
form in Eugene O'Neill, and I
felt like lining myself up in de-
fense of the audacious integrity
of his mood. But, by the play
itself as it went on I was enter
tanned only now and then :.
"The writing is unequal,
sometimes beautiful and keen,
often we'll chastened toward the
dramatic point to be expressed,
often obvious, sometimes fiat,
poor poetry, third-rate taste"
When Young wrote this cand-
idly cropping estimate of O'Neill,
the body of the latter's work was
incomplete. What came later,
some of it clearly greater, merely
added to the contradictions that
were so spectacular part of the
fascination of O'Neill.
Coming late to the theater-
this correspondent to his own
surprise has reviewed only one
new O'Neill play, "The Iceman
Cometh" in 1946-the private
and personal O'Neill seems as
dramatic as the public one.
He seems to have been as
much of an enigma in himself
as in his plays. One reads and
hears mass of detail about his
experience and his behavior, but
he remains a shadow.
He was a schoolboy in Stam-
ford, Conn, who used to swim
in the Sound in the dead of
winter. He read Dumas, every
word. He grew up in New Eng
land whose spirit had withered;
saw with the curious eye of
small boy a strange death in
life that came back to him as
"Desire Under the Elms,"
Mourning Becomes Electra"
etc.
He went to Princeton where
Evening star., 1953-11-30

he distinguished himself by hurl-
ing a beer bottle through Prexy
Woodrow Wilson's residence, left
there hastily to go to sea and
on briny binge that left him
in 1909 a patient in a tubercu-
losis sanitorium. He worked
briefly as a reporter in New Lon
don, and as a columnist, and in
his spare. time he wrote bitter
plays.
These, the antithesis of the
romantic bilge that made his
father a turn of the century
Robert Taylor, enabled him to
restore the tragic spirit to the
American theater. They also
made him a world figure and
won for him the highest of
hunanity's literary honors.
X \ X \
Yet in spite Of the welter of
biographical data and the volume
of his own articulate work,
O'Neill' remains a mystery.
Did he laugh? More than the
one time George Jean Nathan
heard him in years Of close
acquaintance, the first decade
of which they were on Mister"
basis? Was he John Loving, the
man looking for God, in Days
Without End" Was he Hickey
in "The Iceman Cometh" or any
of the heroes in any of dozen
other plays?
Was he the gusty drinking
man with a taste for low and
roiStering companions. Or, was
he the disdainful teetotaller who
later scorned alcohol as one of
mankind'S most overrated escapes
and whose total yearning for
companionship was summed UP
in his third wife, Carlotta?
How could he achieve such in
dignation over human suffering
while having such, if only pass
ing, withering scorn for human
sufferers?
Eugene O'Neill left multitude
of questions unanswered, the
most battling: What makes a
great playwright great?
