Same thing has been apparent In Michigan for 30 years People will not vote on amendments to the constitution why? Because they do not under stand them and so follow the ex cellent rule "When you don't know what you are doing do nothing' I have been on election boards for a generation and I say people dis regard the amendments because they say "I don't know anything about It I won't vote on It atIL" of the elemental things on which his plays were grounded while th humor of them was always ele mental and palpable My years of observation have led me to believe that from 50 to 70 per cent of the playgoing public Is composed of men and women who are able to graep only the elemen tal things On either aide of this majority are your extremes of high brow and low brow It le possible to write a play that la Elemental In Its theme and yet so Intelll gently'treatd that It Is appreciat ed by both extremes and that is what constitutes a good play 1 have been accused of being a high brow and two plays I have appear ed In Servant In the and "The Great are quot ed as evidence against me Heaven knows I would break a leg to gel away from the danger of being a high brow while the two plays of fered In evidence against me were simple enough In theme The public I say haa well de fined notions of what It wants and when a play Is presented that It likes it Is bound to be successful whatever the critics may say I have been quoted as having spoke against the critics What 1 said 1 aimed at writers who are per sonal press representatives and not real critics The critic who Is hon est and sincere In his work has a large mission to fulfill By the application of his specialized knowl edge he Is able to write intelli gently of the defects and merits of a play and so In the course df time to quicken the' perception of his readers and to raise the stand ard of the drama I feel sure that the standard of plays Is constantly becoming hlghei and that we are getting better plays as time goes on I have at horns volumes of old plays produced years ago in London ana from the stand point of dramatic value they are ridiculous In pointing to the Past as many are so fond of doing and citing the classics as evidence that we do not have as good plays to day as In the golden past It shou be remembered that the classics ar the gleanings of the best of al ages What I have said about plavs borrowed for America fromth stage of Europe Is equally appll I cable to American plays transfer red to London or Paris One of my biggest successes "The Great Di was not accepted in London because the English playgoers dirt not understand the typically Ameri can characters in the story My resent play "The Rainbow would as great a success In London as It has been in the United States because Its appeal is universal It Is a story of paternal love and that theme when well handled is potent tn any country or time Which is

proper verbal class work and trace blackboard outlines wpuld be better they had taken course in all the ten Teachers Henry Miller and Ruth Chatterton in Rainbow1 By HENRY MILLER IO MY MIND th explanation of the failure of a number of current play by authors whose offerings have heretofore been accepted without a question Is due to the change' that has been going on within the minds of the American people alnce the days of the Spanish American war That M'ar gave us a certain confidence In ourselves a feeling of self reliance that we had Jacket before and gradually sine then have come to rely more on ourselves and on our own tastes and judgment and lesa on the prestige of success in London and Paris The American public ha Its own notion of what it wants and anvthlna else The problem la find oufc wbat It wants That Is the question the managers are continually trying to solve and there Is not a manager who willing to furnish what it wants whether It be Shakspeare or "Ob Oh becaue he Is In the business to make a living The difficulty Iles In the fact that there is no "th public" any more than there la "the egg" Instead there are hundreds of publics and each 1 like a dial that routes de siring one kind of a play at one time and another at some other time The good play is the play whir deals with some great elemental truth treated In an Imaginative way so that it will please the man at either extreme of discernment Shakspeare wrote such plays and that Is why th3y are alive today Love jealousy hatred were some The Unique Charm of Easter ashions Dominates Every Section of
