To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We have gained this advantage only in recent times because ofthe improved physical conditions of our theatre. A few years ago it was customary for dramatists to end every act with abang that would reverberate in the ears of the audience throughout the_entr'-acte_. Recently our playwrights have shown a tendency toward morequiet curtain-falls. The exquisite close of the first act of _The AdmirableCrichton_ was merely dreamfully suggestive of the past and future of theaction; and the second act en...ded pictorially, without a word. But whethera curtain-fall gains its effect actively or passively, it should, ifpossible, sum up the entire dramatic accomplishment of the act that itconcludes and foreshadow the subsequent progress of the play. Likewise, the first moments in an act are of necessity emphatic becausethey are the first. After an intermission, the audience is prepared towatch with renewed eagerness the resumption of the action. The close of thethird act of _Beau Brummel_ makes the audience long expectantly for theopening of the fourth; and whatever the dramatist may do after the raisingof the curtain will be emphasised because he does it first.
