He not Is unflinching in his portrayal, and men do not like unflinching portrait Geoi painters. desp They want the picture touched up utat by some indulgent and benevolent woe! philanthropist. The realist refuses to ti play with what he deems to be the raan truth. At the time when the younger Dumas was writing extremely inter- () esting though not altogether persua- a ~ sive prefaces to his plays and was one particularly occupied with some of the factdestructive activities of modern worn- with an he made some remarks about the guilt things we ought to laugh at and the i on I tilings we ought not to laugh at j poin "It 1b our common habit In Prance." 1 |aw he wrote, "to laugh at serious things." sava It Is often our habit?especially In mu- mn^ leal comedies?to laugh at serious things. j But, according to Dumas, the only i and right attitude is to laugh at things I grea which are not serious, and which 1 what make no pretension of being serious. ' creo< When we are face to face with a; nn g grave social danger It is a very cu- > (n , rious sort of aisdom which dismisses, . such subjects with a laugh. | * There is, of course, a touch of ped- e antry in an observation like this j Indlv and there was certainly a good deal was of pedantry In Dumas' didactic at- in tl' tltude. Nevertheless, there is solid takei truth beueath, which is very applica- .their Me to our modern audiences. ajBO Conn OLD AS THE ETERNAL HILLS ??pp' i whlt< R. E.
