Con und Pro..

Yet our German critic is not out to find fault with us but to analyse the English character, and it must be admitted that in many respects his judgment is shrewd and pene- trating.

Speaking generally, he finds

that:

"The English are masters of good behaviour, of self-control. Instinct as a mainspring of as- tion is despised nay, feared: other that is why there is no country where. "business pro- ceeds so calmly or whera atates- manship is so wise.

"From that control of all mere instinct there proceeds likewise that greatest of all English qualities, the unenvy-

towards ing "fairness" opponent."

This is why we are represented as being 80. extraordinarily tolerant of everything spiritual: it. does not interfere with our parti- cular -nca.

On our manners, our servants, Our intentional inrance Har' Schmitz has many cogent com- ments to make. On English won men he does not speak with so much confidence or conviction. But his experience of our stage is. worth recording. He writes:

"One. very soon observés tut the English stage has nothing whatsoever to do with art, but until recently I do not think there was an English actress of« repute who was not pretty, nay, alinost beautiful.” And-

Just as the English women, need in order 10 succeed, possess, neither the power of self-surrender nor the art of love so neither warmth nor trained ability is demanded of the actress, provided she, have a beautiful face, or, more re- cently, the new feminist pathos." Moreover, to strugglee of the soul the English theatre remains) a stranger, for the class which takes an interest in soul struggles is more or less puritanically hostile to art."

There may be less truth in this Ito-day than would have been tho decade ago, but the observa- tion is honestly made.
