will be realized how dexterously the American playwright profited by the French technician in whom the commercial manager had faith. Considering the demands of the box-office, it is surprising that these dramatists developed so often along the lines of their own interests. Their plays are representative in part of the demands of the theatre of the time, but also they measure something more personal. Thomas at first wrote local dramas, like Alabama (April, 1891) and Arizona (Chicago, 12 June, 1899), which in content he never excelled; he showed his brilliancy of observation and terseness of dialogue in such pieces as Mrs. Leffingwell's boots (11 January, 1905) and The other girl (29 December, 1903). Then he arrived at his serious period, where interest in psychic phenomena resulted in The Witching hour (18 November, 1907), The Harvest moon (18 October, 1909), and As a man thinks (13 March, 1911）—the latter extravagant in its use of several themes, excellent in its sheer talk.

Had my name been signed to the piece when it was printed, I am sure my old comrade and friend would never have accused me of writing fiction. The scenes and events of that night do not call for fiction. The realities were too numerous and, exciting to be enlarged upon. And, really, I don't see a great deal of difference between my recollections and his. The only difference appears to be (1) as to who the man was who climbed the telegraph pole, and (2) whether the man came dow
