WAY PAGE new generation isn’t raising the patriotic rumpus about the Spanish-American V which his generation did—or most them did. How close, and how successful, is his imitation of Strachey’s style we could . illustrate by a hundred passages. For nstance: “In 1900 Bishop Potter testi- fied that during his six weeks’ sojourn in P the Philippines, he had not seen a single : drunken man; and when one considers : how true it is that intoxicated males t invariably seck and foster the jovial 1 companionship of high church dignitaries, the cogency of the Bishop's testimony becomes overwhelming.” But when a man can write like that, he won't be imitating anybody very long. ft He won't have to. 2 W ARE So entirely in accord with the : dreams and ambitions and enthusi- , § asms of the new men of the theater that 2 when a critic like Oliver Sayler writes a book like “Our American Theater” (Bren- \ tano’s), we hope everybody will buy and read it. At the same time, we are sorely tempted to indulge in a bit of imitation 0 e of Strachey ourself, and become ironic fe about it. Why do most of the younger - critics, in their endeavor to boost the new Ss things, feel obliged to display such appall- ing ignorance about the old things? Do they really suppose that they are going " to help anybody to appreciate the Mos- | nm cow Art Theater company any better by saying that we have never appreciated foreign artists before? Does it really make a youngster feel any more intelli- gent to tell him that his father and mother were damn fools? For instance, Sayler “departed unappreciated” from our shores on her previous visits. Also Rejane. And he speaks of these visits (Duse’s first was in 1893) as “pioneer” attempts to win our appreciation for foreign artists. Good Lord! Rachel got $4 a seat in New York City in 1855, and took in over $5,000 on her opening night. She wi followed by Ristori. in America years before Brother Sayler was wearing safety pins.
