DRAMATIST’S LAMENT
BEST WORK REJECTED. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright). LONDON, Jan. 10. Henry Arthur Jones (the dramatist) included in his will a message dealing with tho future of the theatre: “Several times when I offered my best work to the public regardless of popular success, I encountered condemnation from both tire press and public. lam convinced that England cannot have a modern drama worthy of her place amongst the nations until the great body of English men of letters take a diligent and understanding interest in tiie theatre. I ask them to accept this legacy of my last few words in a spirit of forbearance and friendliness.”
Sir Rudyard Kipling, Sir James Barrie and Sir Arthur Pinero are all indisposed, and were unable to attend the funeral to-day.
