Excerpt from Read-Aloud Plays
Selves as short stories, but in each case I found that the dramatic element, speech, tended to absorb the imper sonal element of comment and description, so that it proved easier to go on by allowing the characters to establish the situation themselves. As I grew conscious of this tendency, I realized that even for the purpose of reading it might be advantageous to render the short story subject dramatically, since this method is, after all, one of extreme realism, which should also result in an increase of interest. As the series devel oped, however, I perceived that something more than a new short story form was involved; I perceived that the read-aloud play has a distinct character and function of its own. In the long run, everything human rises or falls to the level of speech. The culminating point, even of action the most poignant or emotion the most intimate, is where it finds the right word or phrase by which it is translated into the lives of others. Every literary form has always paid, even though usually un conscious, homage to the drama. But the drama as achieved on the stage includes, for various reasons, only a small portion of its own inherent possibility. Exigen cies of time and machinery, as well as the strong influ ence of custom, deny to the stage the value of themes.
