To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
M. Barrie (although Corse Pay- ton announces "Peter Pan"); and still less easily, I should say, intellectual farce, or Maeterlinck, or the comedy of manners in which so much depends on finely finished little things. You get the melodrama of Ruth Jor- dan's capture in the first act of "The Great Divide," for instance, but the exaltation into which the new country had lifted the prim iiew Englander, the vivid desire for life which was, in a way, a sort of subconscious urging of her action, is sca...rcely brought out. Generally speaking, of course, the leading lady doesn't want to waste her strength on that sort of thing. She has a delightfully "cagey" way of playing in a sort of emotional undertone until the curtain, or some other necessary climax, pulls out all the stops. And little wonder. She gets up, every morning at [ iSi ] Second Nights eight o'clock, we will say, as regularly as any office slave. At ten she is in the theatre re- hearsing next week's play. Out for a bite of lunch, or perhaps a sandwich in her dressing- room, and then the matinee begins.
