...always have in the theatre that feeling of just waking up from a nightmare, with all the thrill of emotional participation and none of the consequent hazards. You can get the keenest satisfaction out of a mild taxicab flirtation in Anything Might Happen, with no anticipatory tremors at sound of the clicking meter. You can share the Parisian amours of the charming wife and somewhat less charming husband in The Love Habit with no fear for your ultimate respectability. You can listen to the sweet mutual nothings of Romeo and Juliet, and your amorous envy will be allayed by prescience...

...dramatists", Mr. Courtenay went on to say, "are tremendously handicapped by the disturbed condition of the public mind which has followed the war. The present theatre-going public wants emotional thrill of some kind. If it gets this, it goes home satisfied, regardless of the structure of the play and the probability of the plot". The result is the popularity of the mystery plays like The Cat and the Canary, or of riotous farces such as The First Year. During the past season, plays of undoubted merit failed in New York owing to this particular taste for the exotic...
