NEW DRAMA a Playhouses, book on the international drama of today by Irma Kraft, just published by George Dobsevage, carries an introduction written by George Arliss, in which he says: There is only one reason why I re-- j gret being an actor, and that is that 1 cannot have the theatre as a hobby apart from my routine of business. The love of the theatre is in the very heart of the great majority of people, and I cam imagine no more delightful recreation than the study of the drama from its most intimate subtleties far out to its broadest fields. Arliss ends his tour in Winthrop Ames production of The Merchant of Vehice in Boston on May 19. Next October he begins a tour in this Shakespeare comedy, which will take him to the Pacific Coast and probably this city. ' Plays, j . Mc-Devi- wise-cracki- 1 . tt, ' ! .
