If he doesn’t, all that I can say is that I am a good enough friend of his to tell him so. And also to tell him that if he will more carefully study dramatic values and care- fully delete from his future writ- ing his present yen for soap-box propaganda, he will profit im- measurably, More writers are ruined in America by their friends than by their enemies. Or at least by those who are honest enough to withhold foolish goose-grease and tell them the truth about them- selves. Sherwood is badly in need of a few such comrades. I trust that I am not overly pre- sumptuous in offering myself to him as a comrade of that sort.

As was to be expected, there has been much wheezeful writing about the play because of its ex- treme length. But if this play was to be written at all it had to be written in just this way. It could no more be confined within the orthodox playing-time limits than “The Brothers Karamazov” could be confined within the mea- ger folio of “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.” But we live in a short- story-loving, tabloid, automat so- ciety, and we must have every- thing in a hurry, whether it be shoe-repairing and pants-press- ing while we wait or drama as a mere stop-gap between late din- ners and early cabarets. O'Neill, however, does not write for that kind of society. He leaves the job to others. He writes instead for those who have the necessary education, taste, understanding | and patience to relish fine drama, | whatever its nature and whatever its length. If you are a member of this latter club, I commend his “Strange Interlude” to you. The Reason Griggs—Do me a favor, old man.
