Dramatists Usually Childless.

According to an observer writers of plays are generally childless. He says: “It seems that the successful dramatist is at the end of a series, and never leaves a successor. Look down the list of them, from Gilbert to Shaw, aud you will find never a child. Further search brings up Thomas Hardy, Barrie, Maeterlinck,' Pinero, Cefiti Raleigh, Maugham, Locke, Granville Barker, Frederick Fenn, Louis NapoleoiT Parkqr, and only Henry Arthur Jones and Hall Caine are dramatists with children.
