Abstract

Drama
Krutch, Joseph Wood | January 8, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

The author says that it is he, who take it, no part of a dramatic critic's business to inquire too closely into whatever private reasons a playwright may have for changing his opinions. If, for example, the dramatist Sydney Howard once thought very well of both women and a scholar he has a perfect right now to denounce the two of them in good round terms without thereby giving the author any license to speculate publicly upon the causes of the change. But the artist should earn his immunity by assuming a reciprocal obligation.
