Winkle Which is seldom Criticised. Pos-

deed, I will confess that until recently -'
the fact never occurred to me with an)?
force. Well, you could never guess, so
I will tell you., It isthis: Rip Van
Winkle is the only person in the play
who“ speaks English with a slightly
broken Dutch accent. All of the other '_ ‘
characters are obliged to conteht them~ ',
selves with ordinary English. . .. ,.

speak as he does in broken accents, but
if‘all the other characters .were to atr
tempt a dialect there-would be such a
variety of accent that the effect would .
be incongruous and ridiculous. All
the feeling and sentiment of the play
.would be lost in this polyglot attempt '
at dialect. .
“Several years ago a man engaged
to play Nick Vedder came on at rehear-
sal and commenced to talk in the
broadest low Dutch accent. I stopped
him at once, but. in his own defense,
he exclaimed: '
. “ ‘But, Nick Vedder would talk that:
way,
did?’ .
“ ‘Yes,’ I replied, ‘he would, but you
mustn’t,’ and no doubt. the man thought
me very unreasonable. But this only
wouldn’t he, if Rip Van Winkle
illustrates the point that many things ..
apparently illogical must be done on
the stage to se’éureeffect by inspiring
the imagination. Absolute realism
would be fatal. Under certain condi-
tions it is the necessity of dramatic
art to make the imposd'ésible seem real."
