could make It play: for he had invent-
ed II novel device of stage direction
to catch the eye Ill once and to stim-
ulate the expectation of amusement.
Ilis piece enjoyed It long run in New
York and afterward also achieved
success in London. it was a’hit in
London because it was so Lilorouil'hiy
American.
The theme of Mr. (‘rnven's comedy,
as most every playzner will remember.
was that when It young couple under-
take the difficulties and delicate task
of building their house of life togeth-
er. it is \‘Ixry necessary that they be
let alone by all their relatives and
Two is company ani collab-
oration; but more than two is inter-
ference and a crowd. This theme
was suitably symbolized to the eye
by Mr. Craven by the gradual erec-
tion of an actual house upon the
stage.
This novel device of erecting It house
upon the stage awakened the interest
of the audience at the very moment
when the curtain arose, and illustrat-
ed the theme of the plw as a lesson
Is illustrated on the blackboard. But
It imposed a difficult task upon the
stage director. No less than twenty
characters had to be grouped and
moved about in the few square feet
of space left available for acting pur-
p0}.es, but the piece was so success-
fully staged by the author. that the
audience never even noticed that-on
unusually exacting problem had been
tiuccessfully salted.
