...play itself is concerned. "Epochs of prey", M. Rolland describes them, "a pack of hounds with blind instincts, always straining to escape from the huntsman's leash." The era of Augustus, the era of Leo X, the era of Louis XIV,--all built on the uncertain grounds of repression, murder and cruelty; all followed by periods of terrible degeneration, of savage misuse of liberty...
Necessity, as the old saying might run, is the murder of convention.

And were the lady to be let off scot-free and undoubted interest would be added at all performances in the future. Heretofore most movie-murders have been perpetrated on the screen, and the audience has contented itself with a passively vicarious thrill. Recently, even, melodrama has slopped over on to the stage producing several bundred more unjustifiable homieides at which the audience has crected its small hairs in horror. But with the possibility of having...
