The article presents information on theater. In "Meteor", dramatist S.N. Behrman has drawn a dramatic portrait of extraordinary richness and originality. Even the casual observer cannot fail to be intrigued by the vivid personality of his central character, but the author doubts if such a casual observer is very likely to realize what a difficult feat the author has received. It is easy to say that the hero is a genius and it is not especially difficult to make the other dramatis personae act as though he were, but it is a very different matter to convince the audience and that is exactly what Behrman does.
