Abstract

It Seems to Heywood Broun
Broun, Heywood | March 12, 1930 issue

A good play carries with it diverse benefits, and among the useful by-products minted out of Marc Connelly's play "The Green Pastures" is a new accession of vigor on the part of all the town's reviewers. The gentlemen of the press rose magnificently to their opportunity, and if this play of African American life around God's throne set a new standard for the current season it did just the same for local journalism. William Bolitho has served his time as foreign correspondent, and yet the author thinks he possesses less of what is traditionally known as newspaper instinct than any press man whom the author knows.
