BY SIGURD IBSEN
A drama, which William Archer, the distinguished English critic,
considers convincing proof that he possesses “dramatic faculty in
abundance.” Mr. Archer defines it as “a powerful and interesting
play which claims attention on its own merits, eminently a play
of to-day, or, rather, perhaps of to-morrow.” The truth of this
last comment is sufficiently evinced in the fact that its motive
is the attempt of a young statesman to end, once and for all, the
struggle between capital and labor by dramatically heroic
measures.

Half Hours
BY J. M. BARRIE
“Barrie opens the door of fancy, so seldom set ajar. There lies
his peculiar mastery. A tender, strange, exquisitely human fancy,
half child, half spirit, that lends you its own wings, and lifts
you, heavy foot or heavy heart, to rainbow heights. You cannot
resist him, or, if you do, there is nothing but pity to give you,
as some one who has never known youth and, worse, never will know
it. And by this we do not mean youth of time, but its finer,
rarer reality, that quality, indomitable, bright, and free, that
lies at the heart of all high emprise and generous daring, and
without which this old world would have dried up and withered
away ages since.”
