THE FUNCTION OF THE THEATRE. It may bo that the theatre will eventually become a kind of grim laboratory in •which to bissoot human passions with the grim solemnity of an earnest vivisectionist. Rut I am not quite satisfied that the change will be for the good. The drama, above a A the arts, should measure the throb of life’s pulse, reflecting, if not the joy, at least the dramatic interest of human existence. The theatre can never be the homo of pure, detached philosophy. Philosophy is a leisurely thing which develops best in the calm air of solitude. The spirit of the drama is restless and active. We have come in a crow to seek our pleasure or our mental stimulation, and crowds ever breed intensity of mood. Wo are in no temper for dispassionate reflection. Wo are out for colour. Whether we gaze on the scarlets of farce or the gloomy blacks of Isben, we demand colours that are ei'ear and vivid, for it is in vividness that the drama stands supreme. Alone among vhe arts it gives us the warm, physical contact of living artists with visible audiences. Let it.„j then, draw on its powers to the full. Let even our pale Tehehovs he (as indeed “The Cherry Orchard” is) the glamorous blue of the soft evening sky os against the misty grey of the novelist.—o. F. Lamb in “The Bermondsey Book.”
