This article focuses on the play of John Howard Lawson "Professional." His various types With their recurrent and characteristic utterances are less the protagonists in any definite story than different instruments, each with a characteristic range and timbre, composing the orchestra upon which is played the jazz symphony of contemporary life. Each seems almost unaware of the other and yet each is obedient to an underlying rhythm, set by the lust of life, which makes them, without knowing it, play in a sort of Wild harmony.
