TIJE SUNDAY BEE:. OMAHA. NOVKMUKR 19. 1U22. Trying io be Human inwGw lorn mM Mm Sent to Mocli ioltoii Mfm Tims is a Problem 8 A MM Ml I apranf from hnm-apun people, who believed In the Jllble, ha fulth In the oll and lined thflr farma and village. It appeare I am the only wanderer. All my ruunln ar fnrrn ere or 11 v In amall town. And at heart I'm the verlnt rube in Man hattan. The nature of my calling- Im tuna d ma among people of all aorta. I rub allowt with all romlltlona of life. It aroma to ma I hut tha lilKK'nt prob lm that fiicre tha New Yorker In merely to be htnnun. Juat thla morning on Thlrty-elghth alraet I met a boyhood friend of mine. We uaed to co, camping on Raccoon creek and onca w hud to bury our tlothea beraijae wa came too clone to atranga cat dlHtlnctly not a mat teaa. Ita haa lived In New York elitht montha. Ha had a worried look. He had Invited eome nelghbora to dinner and tha piny. He (Uncovered that he could not aecura aeata for any of tha big hlta. And ao Inatead of taking fsople. Tha breach now la too wide between art and life. At luncheon a few daya ago I eat next to a man who uaed to grubataka with ma on I'ark How. Wa wera al- waya about ona jump ahead of tha aherlff. Wa amoked eurh other'a clga tela and exchange necktlea for cer tain function. He haa written aeveral playa two ara a hit. Ha waa talking with a bob haired girl who wora hoot owl glaaaea. Bin la one who Inalata, though married, on prraervlng her maiden name. No one knowa her anyway. It doean't matter, My friend of tha old daya waa aay ing: "Tha Influence of Cezanne and the experiment! of Pleaaao " He got no further. I aaked him to plcaae paaa tha rheeae and then re minded him of the time we got put out of ReefntaU Dolan'e for being die orderly. I know our friendship la amaahed, But I nailed a four-fluah. And the crudity of the fllma there la a high topic for Intellectual browa iJL -.1 ) "I ran do a nmMi trick that cne tt lite greatest paiions of modern art cannot perform. But I'm not at all puffed about It. them to a celestial morality or futil ity play, ha waa compelled to take them to a vaudeville ahow. Miserably I'nhappy. The poor bny felt disgraced. All of them would enjoy vaudeville more. Yet ao greut la the fear of not im preMlng ono'a neighbor that he waa living In terror. His work would suf fer and he and liU wife would both be o miserably unhappy. There la a yniinsr producer In town who came out of Kansas an earnest, Incere, fine fellow. He startled New York with his first play:' it ran a year and made him a fortune. I don't know what has happened, but he has luddenly gone in for hih-browlsm nd la producing freak plays that iven the critics confess they do not understand. Of course, he will wake up In time. Hut it Is typical of a phase that keupa New York from be In a real human city. If a young man or young woman writes a successful book In New York tomethlng happens to him or her. There la a young man In particular. He waa once a breezy, tine fellow. Sue stM hne made hia poseur. He likes to appear a languid creature of a Jecailent civilisation. Ho looks at life through dark classes and sits In a detached way In Washington Sonure cafee sipping sirreptitious abainthe. Main Fool. Of course, he is a plain ft ml. In small town they wmil.l yank him ff his pedestal in Jiffy. They'd Save him hunting siiIih-s.

I know as much about them a the puz zle editor of the Sandpit, Iowa, Btar. The Kang-She or the Bam-Lee periods may mean a lot to some folks, but they are less than nothing in my life.' Recause I am not versed In Chinese porcelains thpre is no reason why I should be the object of stony stores Certainly It Is no disgrace. I can do a match trick that one of the greatest patrons of modrrt art cannot fathom. But I am not al all puffed "about it. In fact, I'm democratic and very easy to meet; Over His Head. Expressionism in the theater, too, Is something thSt Is way over my head. I have never felt the Impulse to reach beyond the limits of realism. A stage Irishman in green whiskers who slaps his flapping pantalooned partner over the head with a blad der always extracts the gurgle hila rloun. It is more real to me than Ethel 1 Wry mors talking as If she has a mouth full of oysters. I prefer the playa of Hon Marquis, Baminy Ship man and Gene Puck to those of Ibson. Strliullterg, Trhekov and Wedekln. I can make nothing of the symbol. And the horritically actual dramaa with their ecxmtl smut leave me cold. .VII of these things appall the New Yiker.
