Drama and Music: Exotic Plays
February 8, 1912 issue

add to cart   close window

This article presents information related to drama. The current theatrical season has brought the American playwright face to face with a formidable Asiatic peril. If this were not a bad time for protective tariffs in general, U.S. dramatists might well have appealed to the U.S. Congress for a heavy import duty on Oriental drama, with which the stage is in danger of being swamped. The beginning of 1912 in New York found no less than four plays of life in the distant and odorous East. "The Garden of Allah" is North Africa; and "Ben Hur" is Syria and Palestine in Roman times.
