Drama

April 1, 1915 issue

The article presents information on drama. Various attempts have been made to put "Alice" on the stage, and not one of them has been altogether successful; nor is it possible to imagine how the attempt could succeed. At the best, such a production must be a series of isolated scenes, unconnected save by the personality of Alice. There is a vast difference between staging a dream and presenting a stage dream. In the latter case author and producer are their own masters; they may evolve the dream according to their own intelligence and the dictates of dramatic requirements; but to present a dream just as it was actually dreamt, that is a different matter.
