DE TROIT dI
(By Stewart T. Beach)
There are other works in English
literature besides those of Lord Dun-
sany which seem to quite defy the con-
ventions of problem plays with their
attendant and seemingly indispensable
triangular situations, and among these
must be classed the characteristically
human plays-and stories as well-
of one of England's greatest claims to
contemporary prestige in literature-
J. M. Barrie.
It is with 'sincere pleasure after
viewing, or reading the plays with
which our stage is flooded at the pres-
ent time, that one is privileged to take
up one of Barrie's cleverly whimsical
bits of dramatic literature, and he
sees in it,aa quiet relieffrome all the
coldly realistic plays which are so
curent at the present time.
Paragons of Characterizatio'n
Take the book which has been pub-
lished under the title of "Half Hours,"
and which contaius four one-act
plays, "Pantaloon," "The Twelve
Pound Look," "Rosalind," and "The'
Will." After reading over the plays,,
one might almost issue a challenge to
the world to show him four other
plays in all the realm of literature
which come so near to being paragons
of characterization.
Perhaps it is not entirely in the dia-
logue that the charm of the play lies,
and in reading them, half the pleasure
comes from the clever character de-
scriptions and stage directions which
the author gives. These directions ark
not couched in the terse language us-
ually employed in simple stage busi-
ness, and how much more effective it
is to the reader, how much more lu-
cid to the actor who is to play the
part, to have the thoughts of the char-
acter explained to him.
Take "The Twelve Pound Look,"
for example, which, by the way, sure-
ly bears one of the cleverest tiies im-
aginable, and one which gives the
reader not the slightest insight into
the workings of the exceptionally clev-
er plot.
Sir Harry has been left alone with
the woman who, formerly his wife, has
left him without the slightest inklingi
to her whereabouts, simply because

his "success was sufficating her."
Anxious to find out with whom it was
she left him, and about to tell her in
exchange for her information upon this'
point, with what emotions he receiv-
ed the note which she left for him,
he takes a place in front of the fire-
place with her, "He sits down beside
her," might ,have sufficed in stage
business for another dramatist, but
not for Barrie. Instead of this, we
find him directing his characters thus:
"It is the first point on which they
have agreed, and, forgetting himself,
he takes a place beside her on the
fire-seat. He is thinking only of what
he is to tell her, but she, womanlike,
is- conscious of their proximity." And
then the author adds this quiet touch:
Kate (tastelessly), "Quite like old
times.,:
Delightfully Different
Barrie's plots are all delightfully
different, and one must look in vain
if he is to find one of them which
presents the hackneyed situations of
the problem play. There is "Dear
Brutus," one of his latest plays, a last
year's success on Broadway, where
William Gillette took the leading role.
There is a legend extant in England,
that on Midsummer Eve, somewhere
in the north of Britain, appears a
magical forest, where, if one shall en-
ter, he shall find out what would have
happe ed to him had he had another
start life. We are all wont to re-
mark when things go wrong, "Well,
if I had done that other thing in the
beginning, it would have been differ-
ent," and "Dear Brutus" takes care
of these people in a way which has
made the words "whimsical" and "Bar-
ie" almost synonymous.
LONGEST TOUR OF HISTORY
ARRANGED BY MUSIC CLUBS
Continued from page 1.
All-Campus Jazz orchestra, the Var-
sity Stringed quintet, the Midnight
Sons' quartet, and Rob rt R. Dieterle,
