Eugene O'Neill for general reader is Barrett H. Clark's! “Fugene O'Neill: The Man and His Plays.” It has been revised and] expanded since 1928 and thus has| kept pace with the O'Nelll career. Moreover, Mr. Clark, as an editor} of the drama and. head of the Dramatists’ Play Service, has been in constant touch with Mr. O'Neill. Thus he is able to refer us to the canon, even when he disagrees with it. Of the numerous comments he

makes on Mr. O'Neill's plays, twos

The critics, says Mr. O'Neill, “read too damn much Freud into stuff that could] very well have been Written ex-| actly as is before psychoanalysis was ever heard of. , . . 1 think 1 know . enough about men and women to have written “Mourning Becomes Electra” almost exactly as it is if I had never heard of Freud or Jung or the others.’ Moreover, adds Mr. O'Neill, he has read only four books by Freud and Jung, and Jung has interested him most of all. Mr. Clark thought the influence of the psychoanalysts was too patent in the final part of the trilogy, which he declares is one of the most important of all the O'Neill plays.

” » » MR. CLARK'S WARNING that we must not read too much into the O'Neill plays agreed with the conclusion I ‘had reached. He made this remark in discussing the many interpretations placed on “The Iceman Cometh.” To me this play is devoid of depth, It means a great deal more to Mr. Clark, yet even he has to make this apology:

His latest play, “A Btreetcar Named Desire,” has won many proud words from Willlam Hawkins and the| other drama critics, many of whom see it as the equal of “The Glass Menagerie,” If ope object of a dramatist is to stir the emotions of an audience, as Mr, Clark says, then we must admit Mr. Williams has the key. | His latest play is not yet pub-| lished, but is to be issued by New Directions. However a short play in three scenes called “27 Wagons Full of Cotton” is being issued by the, same publisher in a book of waifs| and strays called “Spearhead.” ($5). This is called an anthology of the advance guard writing. Some of the | members of the advance guard here exhibited have been. straggling in

“I don't think it necessary for the author * to follow each idea that crops up in the course of a play to its logical conclusion, nor analyze its meaning. Nor do I think O'Neill intends that his audience shall fit together all the pieces which, when assembled, form a dramatic whole, Before all else O'Nelll is a man of the theater, whose: main business is to devise a play that shall stir an audience through its emotions, and only incidentally, if at all, to! make it think. A. great play rarely | forces us to work out an Intellectual | problem; what we get from it is an| abiding sense of basic reality, spectacle of man‘ grappling with life.” Here, then, is a play, and Mr. O'Neill is a superb dramatist of human frustration, of emotions that rise from the turmoil underneath! the human mask. He works for years on a play, to overcome all the problems of craftsmanship. Mr. Clark thinks his dialog is now at its best—Iless literary and more fully rounded and more satisfying than in any plays except possibly “Mourning Becomes Electra.” But there we go again. I considered the dialog of the Electra play the most lit erary and self-conscious of them all,
