There is a young man at her hotel; she says he will be one of the greatest playwriters in England, and she sent me a play of his to read; it was only a little about love, I did not like it very much.... O Chris! I think I shall cry when I see you. As I am quite grown up, Miss Naylor is not to come back with me; sometimes she is sad, but she will be glad to see you, Chris.
"Absurd images are sometimes irresistible. I will mention two. An elephant in a coach-office gravely coming to have his trunk booked; a mermaid over a fish-kettle cooking her own tail." "It is the praise of Shakspeare, with reference to the playwriters, his contemporaries, that he has so few revolting characters.
In the interests of playwriters and play-actors, I wish to see the playgoer our dramatic lawgiver be educated; and I think this might be done by means of a "Royal Dramatic Academy."
Playwriters tell us that the dramatic situation is the thing, and that the spoken word is as unimportant to the play as the foot-lights except as a means of illuminating the situation. "Yes I have just left him, Harry. Uncle George looks very badly don't you think so? Is there anything very serious the matter? I sent Ben to Dr. Teackle's, but he was not in his office."
According to Ben Jonson, and the playwriters of his time, the beggars become a regular fourth- estate, with their own laws, and even their own language of which we may remark, that the thieves' Latin of those days is full of German words, indicating that its inventors had been employed in the Continental wars of the time.
Through the genius of Pericles and his generals these men were set to work as masons, carpenters, braziers, goldsmiths, painters and sculptors. Talent was discovered where before it was supposed there was none; music found a voice; playwriters discovered actors; actors found an audience; and philosophy had a hearing.
Its filthy message reaches the ears of boys and girls, who, even if they take it solemnly, are forced to think of these facts and to set the whole mechanism of sexual associations and complex reactions into motion. The playwriters know that well, but they have their own theory.
At that time I cherished a sincere admiration, with only slight reservations, for Heiberg, Hertz, Hostrup and many others as comic playwriters, and was not far short of attributing to their works an importance equal to those of Holberg. And yet I was unable to avoid giving offence.
