I wanted to impress a Don the eye and ear of those who come to see our endeavors wiiat to me is one of the rarest and most beautiful offerinea in all literature.

I wanted to present the Book dramatically but not theatrically. I wanted to visualise the feeling of the spiritual message oi Job laltn and pa "'The Lord gave and the Lord hath taxen away; Blessed be the name of the Lord. "I wanted to avoid everything that savors of the tricks of the theatre that Is. -thinrs done merely fet their effect; and all I know of the way of the theatre has been turned to account in my effort to make The Book of Job' a living thing. "I had no desire to delve deeply into Hebrew- customs or the possibly authentic method of presenting tne drama of Job.

wanted fnerely to make tbe presentation with all the reverence and all the feeling that is in me. To me, drama is a spirit, not a method. It fa the eternal way to make things of tbe past and tbe future, facts and fancies alike to live, to actually be for the eye and ear of the audience. Con- aequently, I' did not direct tbe great play in tbe manner of Greek drama with an attempt at accurately detailed scene and costume and Hebraic cus-. torn.

I had it played only for the spiritual accuracy of a man who has lost patience and faith and who tag-' gen but does not fall under trial like the world todayperhaps. Job is a man of all time. Therefore, I make him and all his friends men of all time who speak our own thoughts to ua and who hear the Eternal Voice' as we, too; might hear it out of the passing whirlwind." The following extracts from a letter to Mr. Walker from Miss Gertrude Ely, president of the Bryn Mhwt Alumnae, who brought "The Book of Job" to Philadelphia, may be of interest to local theatregoers "My Dear Mr. Walker: Phuaftjphiana who beard Job were very much impressed, and tbank our committee for backing the production, and many have asked to see it again.
