or magnliicence. He writes; "We have
seen ail hia plays. In the ordinary course
of our business, and they only serve to
bring home to us more forcibly than ever
the distinction between business and
pleasure. They seem to us of poor Intel
lectual texture crude ln mothud, garish
and as noisy aa a brass band. They pre
sent a set of people uncouth people, violent
barbarians whom we do not know and do
not want to know and cannot persuade our
selves to believe In. The histories of, these
people are of the sort known aa kaleido
scopic Tbey are suddenly plunged from
giddy heights of power or prosperity Into
ue depths of wretchedness. Panting geog
rsphy tolls after them in vain . as they
whirl round the globe from the snows of
Iceland to the gaming tsbles of Monte
Carlo, or from the homesteads of man to
the sulphur mines of Sicily. But wherever
they gu they are always essentially the
same 'tremendous companions,' In the
Boswelllan phrase, uncomfortably em
phatic, alwaya on the strain. They havo
hearts, abnormally developed hearts,
thumping, palpitating, bursting or broken
hearts. They have voices which can always
be heard above the perceptual din of hymns
and choruses behind the scenes. They have
all the outward semblances of human be
ings. Further, they have consciences, ter
ribly obtrusive and tiresome condolences,
and what la called a profound conviction
of aln. But they have no real peyschology,
no reat via Interieure, no power of In
dividual reflectlona." Mra. Patrick Camp
bell la the heroine of "The Bondsman," but
tha part doea not seem to suit her well.
At all events the critics are not enthu
