Abstract

Barrie for the Armchair
December 7, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

The stage exists chiefly for the benefit of the multitude, which lacks imagination for the remnant, it is not an absolute necessity. For them no painted canvas shaking in the night is needed to call up the forest of Arden or rouged mime in fleshings to stand for the character Rosalind under the greenwood tree. The magic words of the master artist suffice to flash them on the inward eye. James Berry line of tradition in printing his comedies for the benefit of his countless admirers who can hardly hope to see them on the stage.
