Excerpt from Dramatic Portraits
An inquiry into the serious art Of this dramatist is an inquiry into upwards Of thirty years Of the English theatre. The work Of Sir Arthur Pinero's prentice hand is shrouded in an obscurity which one must believe to be deliberate. The present generation may know only of Daisy's Escape and Bygones as dwelling as happy blendings of humour and pathos in the memory of Mr. William Archer, a critic Of the period. We must rest content to call them bygones, these.
