WHY I WROTE “JOURNEY'S END.”
THE DUTY OF DRAMATISTS:
WAR ON THE STAGE THE SUREST WAY TO ENSURE PEACE.
[Br B. C. SHERRIFF IN "JOHN - Q" LONDON'S WEEKLY."]
#
7
[In his new war play. Jonquey's End," Mr. R. C. Sherri has achieved one of the most remarkable successes in the recent history of the theatre. He has had no experience of the stage and has made no study of dramatic technique; his play reta rejected by several producers, and Mr. Bernard Shaw, to whom he submitted it, id, in, effert, that it was poor drame but good journalism; yet all who have seen it describe it as the best play the War har produced. It will be shortly seen" in Hong Kong, Wer has attracted the dramátist | since the dawn of drama, because it brings to the surface of every man something which no other force can stir.
The dramatist's first aim is to
reveal character.
If his theme is a peaceful one he! must dig manfally into the souls of his men before he can show their characters to his audience; but stand his men before a setting of war and their characters ooze out of their own accord.
Bared Souls.
A mag may live his lifetime in peace with his soul locked up from the eyes of his friends; put him in a front line dugout in France et him try as he will, and his soul is soon lying raked on the damp earth-floor for every man to see who cares to look.
But in olden days the dramatist cared less for the baring of souls: he wanted heroes, and ideal hero ism tends to shrivel up and die in naked souls.
He could quite easily find heroes in those wars of long ago, because then the bark of war "was ·WOTEC than its bite, and man was not so sensitive as he is today. It was nasier to be a hero then heroism and nobility sprang cagerly from those exciting and not too danger ous adventures.
When War Was Fun, You can dodge boiling oil if you keep an eye open for it coming and what more thrilling than skip ping out of the way of the great houlders that came bounding down the hills from those old forts whose time-softened walls atill linger on our Downs?
|
The Call of a Nation.
All this will go on happening! so long as the blood of a nation is strong and clean. Men will always go uncomplainingly to war at the first hint that their nation may suffer in prestige if they do not go
Pray Heaven that the just need for war has gone for all time, but Heaven forbid that the men of our nation will ever shirk a just and righteous war because war burta so badly!
For ten years we have been try ing to lessen, the chance of future war. Are we really on the right road? Are we really using the best weapons?
cifice of a peace-promoting society brings with it a tiny tumble af distant guns.
Hope.
In this feverish search for penes -way we look for help from the atage? Is there hope in the then- tre? I believe our strongest hope lies there.
Tho spoken words of an actor can than any written word. striks more deeply into our souls
We can at least try.
W
The dramatist of olden days gave his public food that, whetted its desire to march out of its peaceful town and club the nearest foreigner,
The high duty of the dramatist who would write of war to-day lies not in the opposite direction but rather up the right-hand road. He must show the futility of war: the utter waste of life blood and life time--but be must not weaken the souls of men against righteous war

The trouble is that most efforts we make inspire eather, than revolt boyhood spirits to war,
