By AIRS. R. HARRY LEWIS.
James Barrie, Author of Play, Was
Acclaimed Foremost Dramatist
of His Time.
“Alice-Sit-by-the-Fire,” a nineteenth
century comedy, by the late Sir James
AI. Barrie, is the play Avhich has been
chosen by the Playmasters for their
first semester production. This partic
ular play is noted for its Avit and satire.
The late Sir James Harrie was con
sidered, by several critcis, as the fore
most English dramatist of his day.
Altiny of his later plays Avere written
for Afaiid Adams, Avho Avill always be
remembered for her portrayal of Pan in
“Peter Pan.” Probably tAvo of Barrie’s
best knoAvn Avorks are The Little Minis
ter and “Quality Street,” Avhich haA^e
been produced in the movies.
Roland LeAvis says the folloAving of
Barrie: “All the little Avhimsicalities,
sentiments, little loves, and heart-long
ings of human beings are present in
his plays. . . . lie appeals to the emo
tions, rather than the intellect. He
continues the romantic ti-adition in
English drama and gives ns plays that
are Avholesome, tender, and human. And
with all this, he has the added saving
grace of a most absorbing humor.”
