"Even the little things are truly a part of the artlHtlc whole. This stool, for Instance, on which the priest sit* when ‘Every- innn’ make* con tension. I* one I found In Limerick, after searching diligently for Just the thing that would lit. The book In which ’Everyman's’ reckoning Is mode Is copied from one which may be seen In the Bodleglan library at Ox ford." And when I took the volume In my hands, there, verily, was Just such parchment, such old, yellow parch ment, a* Adam might have kept hi* diary on. Even the orange tree* are real—that which you never hoped to aee outside of Florida or Paradise. Mr. Greet believe* In the theater for children. "This,” he *ald, "I* my go* pel.

Asked what had Influenced him to make such radical departure from con ventional presentations, and to create for himself a place so unique in the theatrical world. Sir. Greet only said: "I was nearly thirty before I became Imbued with a desire to do these thinqs differently.
